EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in Newcastle upon Tyne. Standing proudly on the corner of New Bridge Street and Northumberland Street, the Art Deco style Burton store dominates the scene. The imposing white faience facade with hints of blue exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Historic mapping reveals that during the 1950s, this iconic building's upper floors were utilized as a NaFI, adding to its rich history. Unfortunately, time took its toll on this architectural gem, leading to its demolition around 1990. However, it paved the way for progress as it made room for the development of Monument Mall shopping centre. The photographer Nicholas Anthony John Philpot skillfully captured this moment from across the road junction to showcase not only the grandeur of Burton but also its significance within Newcastle's bustling high street culture. As we gaze at this print today, we are transported back to a time when fashion met artistry in every detail. It serves as a reminder that even though buildings may come and go, their legacy lives on through images like these – preserving our collective memory and appreciation for architectural marvels such as Burton in Newcastle upon Tyne.
