Charting the origins of the Clark family and their beginnings in Street during the 18th century, this talk by Trust archivisit Dr Tim Crumplin will concentrate on the commercial and social influences the Quaker business of C. & J. Clark had upon the town and its locality from the time of its founding (by brothers Cyrus and James Clark) in 1825, and through successive generations, to the start of the 21st century.
