EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the iconic Burtons signage in all its glory. Located on the bustling High Street of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, this black ceramic tiled sign stands as a testament to Burton's rich history and enduring legacy. The striking red lettering boldly proclaims "Let Burton Dress You" inviting passersby to indulge in the finest tailoring and menswear that this esteemed brand has to offer. The Neville Street frontage of the Burton store serves as an ideal canvas for this eye-catching display, drawing attention from all who venture down this vibrant thoroughfare. Built in 1937 and masterfully designed by their talented in-house architect Nathaniel Martin, this store is not just a place of commerce but also a symbol of craftsmanship and timeless elegance. The meticulous tiling work exemplifies the attention to detail that was characteristic of 1930s design. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time – imagining an era when gentlemen would have flocked to Burton for their sartorial needs. This image is not merely an advertisement; it encapsulates an entire epoch marked by sophistication and refinement. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's lens has immortalized this piece of architectural heritage, reminding us that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, fragments of our past can still be cherished and celebrated.
