Cobden Terrace, Street
The central section of a terrace of 20 houses built for the Clark's company in 1889. "It was also designed by G J Skipper, in a more decorative Jacobean style than Wilfrid Terrace (opposite). Mrs Helen Clark was unimpressed with the folksy features and the cupola on this terrace and hence Skipper was replaced by his nephew, William Reynolds, for the next building phase." http://www.mendip.gov.uk/Documents/Regeneration/Heritage%20Conservation/Conservation%20Area%20Appraisals/Street/Street%20Conservation%20Area%20Appraisal%20Draft%20-%20Chapters%206-7%20-%20Appendix%201%20and%20Summary%20.pdf

The village of Street is situated at the end of the Polden Hills on a dry spot in the Somerset Levels. There is evidence of Roman settlement. In the mid 17th century, the Society of Friends was established in Street and one of the Quaker families who settled here were the Clarks. In 1825 James Clark began the production of slippers and later shoes and boots. The business flourished under his son, William, but profits were ploughed back into employee welfare, housing and education. Much of the housing in the centre of Street was built by the company.
