1930s Facade High Street Shop Shopping Stone Fascia Imposing Neo Classical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Burton in Wood Green, a prominent landmark on High Road in Haringey, Greater London. The neo-classical architecture is truly imposing, with its tall pilasters adorned by majestic Ionic capitals. Constructed in 1931, the store holds historical significance as foundation stones were laid by members of the esteemed Burton family themselves. It stands as a testament to their vision and commitment to excellence during that era. The stone fascia and facade exude an air of elegance and timelessness, transporting us back to the bustling streets of 1930s London. This image serves as a reminder of how architectural marvels can withstand the test of time. While currently occupied by Currys and later transformed into a Tesco Express store in the early 21st century, this photograph allows us to appreciate its original splendor before commercial adaptations took place. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot has skillfully captured this snapshot from Historic England's archives, preserving not just a physical structure but also an important piece of history for future generations to admire.
