EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Burton store on Old Church Road in Chingford Mount, Greater London. The striking granite facade stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of its time. Built around 1939, this iconic building has witnessed the transformation of fashion trends and commercial landscapes over the years. Once a thriving Burton store, it later found new life as Store21, a popular fashion destination for locals. Following that, The Works stationery store took up residence within these historic walls. A third floor was added to accommodate modern needs, while the upper floors were thoughtfully converted into cozy flats. The dominance of black and dark hues in this photograph adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this art deco gem. Red and blue accents punctuate the scene, adding vibrancy against its otherwise monochromatic backdrop. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the visual appeal but also the rich history embedded within these walls. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some structures stand tall as silent witnesses to our ever-evolving society.
