An amazing collection of footwear has been gathered together in this museum. Housed in the former factory of shoe manufacturer Clarks, it tells the story of the family firm, which turned Street from a sleepy village into an industrial centre. The shoe shown here is one of theirs from the Roaring Twenties. But the shoe collection goes right back to Roman times. Tools and machinery display how shoemaking changed from Victorian handicraft to the modern assembly line.
