This small
Somerset town owes its name to its proximity
with a Roman ‘street’, the Fosse Way. Its most
famous citizens were a family of shoemakers,
the Clarks, who started a global footwear
company by selling slipper-linings from
sheepskin off-cuts in the early 19th century.
The firm’s original buildings later became the
first purpose-built factory outlet in the UK. |
