The workers of Clark's boot and shoe factory were well provided for - unlike so many others in nineteenth century Britain. It was William Clark's initiative to provide a large hall for lectures, meetings, a small library and a museum that the employees and locals could make use of. The hall was named St Crispin's (after the patron saint of shoemakers) and opened by John Bright on October 12th, 1885. See Image] for another detail.
