Showing Allsops Bakery and Kirk's Gents Hairdresser on High Street, just off Low Street in Sutton in Ashfield. A fire mark can be seen onthe wall of the hairdressers. Fire marks were plaques affixed to the side of buildings to enable insurance companies to recognise buildings insure by them. The earliest fire marks were used in the 1600's, and some companies still displayed them in the 1900's. The vast majority have now been lost due to demolition.
