I have a double? (twice as long as wide) belfast sink I have no use for. I was convinced they were worth something but was offered a fiver today by a guy who deals in this sort of stuff. Is the fad over?

Back in 1960 when I was 7 when I was at boarding school, they used to bath us in those. Followed by a compulsory cold shower. Don't ask, it was an odd school.
ones going for £20 on ebay
Is it definitely a Belfast and not a butler? Butler sinks =A3500+ on Lassco's website.
It's definitely a Belfast, from these people,

'eeee it's a whole new world. Making beer in 't sink (bath full of coal I suppose). Must be a Northern thing.
Southern Jessie :o)
When I visited a brewery years ago, the stuff was brewed in open stainless steel basins the size of an average pub bar...
I remember putting my head down to sniff the stuff, and getting a lungful of pure CO2..not recommended.
I don't make beer in our sinks, I grow plants in some, there's a pond in the biggest and the other is full of stones for some reason.
It's a northern thing. Soft Southerners, I've been told, wash dishes in them.
