More about this scene

This view looks south-west along the High Street. Beyond Crispin Hall, most of the houses and shops date from the Clark era, with the occasional much lower earlier cottages interspersed. The house on the left has been replaced by The Crispin Centre, a large shopping precinct. In part of the old factory there is now a shoe museum; it traces the history of shoes, as well as that of the Clarks factories.
