Great Bill,
It seems that Jennings is taking a little too much credit here
for introducing the Shadows to Fender guitars.
Also, he does not mention that it was the Shadows' idea to

Hi,

emailed Erith Library Nov 13 2012
Question : Are there any existing buildings in Erith regarding Vox Sound / Jennings Industries /
Burndept ?

Response :

Thank you for your email.
As far as I am aware there are no visible remains
of any of these buildings in Erith.
You might find it useful to consult our newspaper index
(part of our book catalogue) and our archive catalogue.
You are also most welcome to visit us here at the Centre
to further your research -
we have many old maps you may be interested in?. Please see

Maybe not strictly relevant to the initial query, but an advert from the sunny days of 1963 (another reversed shot!)
