CLARKS
Street really started to prosper in 1825 when Cyrus and James Clark opened their shoe factory and started the business that is now truly multinational. Clarks still have their headquarters in Street.
Clarks, like many other industrialists of their time, built terraces of model homes for their workers, and provided the village with its civic hall, library, open air swimming pool and theatre.
The Street scheme, with its iconic architecture and environmentally conscious design, will create a lasting legacy for both local people and the Clarks family.
With its radical but space-enhancing architecture and sustainable, environmentally friendly features, the scheme will show how the homes of the future should be built.
