Nicknamed The Cobblers due to a large shoe making industry in the village the early years were extremely successful and Street won the Somerset Senior League four times before the end of the century, the first occasion being the 1882–83 season.

Representing the side of that day were numerous players with Football League experience, notably: E Maggs, G Webber and Albert Banfield (Bristol City), F Farr (Northampton), L Rose (Everton), N & C Willey (Portsmouth) - but although they put up a gallant fight they were eventually beaten 7–0.

In the mid-1960s the introduction of ex-pro Tommy Wilson as manager saw the club's fortunes rise again and at the same time they left the Victoria Field and moved to the Turnpike Ground where they were crowned The Somerset League champions in 1964 and again in 1966.

Julian Thresher and Neil Seymour then took over the reins followed by Gerry Pearson and then Alan Hooker, until Simon White was appointed at the start of the 2005–06 season and led the club to promotion to the Western League at the first attempt.

2015–16 saw the Cobblers finish seventh and getting to the semi-finals of the Somerset Premier Cup, at the end of the season after four and a half years, Badman stepped down due to work commitments.

Street moved swiftly and appointed former Bitton, Bridgwater Town and Paulton Rovers manager Richard Fey to take over at the helm, his first season in charge saw the Cobblers claim a second-placed finish.

The club was unable to sustain such lofty ambitions and chose to take voluntary demotion back down to the Western league, a huge disappointment to everyone involved in its record-breaking success.
