On the rear of a house in Stoneham Road, see Image, and viewed from the park. Clark's was a local bakery with its main premises in Newtown Road that opened in 1887 and operated until 1976 when it fell into insolvency, having sold part of its business in the summer of that year to Rank Hovis McDougall, then abruptly closed in October when another takeover failed to materialise. The company's name still survives in a number of law textbooks as the legal battle after insolvency continued on to the end of the decade. Decisions included the definition of an establishment being one firm (Clark's had claimed their bakery and 28 shops were separate establishments) and that insolvency wasn't a special case to dismiss workers (Clark's had not informed workers of the gradual run down of the company and just locked the gates and dismissed employers on the day a potential deal collapsed).
