I believe the original Slater brothers were Warrington (born 1839) and Walter. The company is still in existance, making mainly knives for butchers and chefs, and trades as Herbert M. Slater (1853) Ltd.

Their current location is at the Venture Works, 78 Hoyle Street, Sheffield, which may explain the "Venture" on the base of your pieces.

There are a number of Blenheim Hotels in England, which may be a possibility for the other inscription.
