Re: Fenners
Yes Fenners was at the bottom of Water Street before moving to Church. Is it not the belt fasteners that are marked "Fenners"? I worked at the Church factory for a few years but can't recall them making the belts just the fasteners.

Re: Fenners
The belts were probably made in Hull. There was a large factory there up to a few years ago. Then all the production went to India. I was a Maintenance fitter there for many years.
