This print showcases the iconic Burton store in Hornchurch, Greater London. The image captures the unique curved elevation of the building, situated at the corner of High Street and North Street. The adjoining shops on either side add to the charm and vibrancy of this bustling shopping district. The historical significance of this location is highlighted by the foundation stones laid by members of the esteemed Burton family back in 1939. Over time, various businesses have occupied these shop units, including notable names such as Dollond and Aitchison Opticians, Dorothy Perkins, Douglas Estate Agents, and Boots. The architectural beauty of this structure is evident in its art deco design elements. The smooth curves and blue accents make it a standout feature along this busy high street. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rich history and evolution of retail spaces. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot has expertly captured every detail with precision and skill through his lens. As we admire this print from Historic England, we are transported back to an era when shopping was an experience filled with elegance and sophistication - a true reflection of British style at its finest.
