Hi, Mastabar Belt Fasteners, as far as I knew, were on the opposite side to where this doorway photo is taken. Mastabar was the lovely red brick building which was on Water Street/Melbourne St/Avenue Parade. (Later became Karrimor). I know cos I used to go up onto the top floor each day for dinner. I worked at Mastabar at Church. They had no canteen facilities, so they used to provide a bus to get people into Accrington. You could either do your "own thing" or go to the works canteen. I remember it being good food at reasonable prices.
