This print captures the iconic Burton store at 22-24 Old Market in Halifax, Calderdale, West Yorkshire. Standing proudly on a corner site, this art deco masterpiece is a testament to timeless elegance and architectural brilliance. The foundation stones of this historic establishment were laid in 1932 by Arnold James Burton, Raymond Montague Burton, and Stanley Howard Burton. These visionary individuals left an indelible mark on the town's landscape with their commitment to quality tailoring and menswear. From its vantage point in the southwest, the photograph showcases the grandeur of the building's facade. The striking blue color adds a touch of vibrancy to an already impressive structure. Its presence on this bustling high street has made it a beloved landmark for generations. Over time, this cherished location has witnessed various transformations. After serving as home to Burton and its legacy for many years, it found new life as McDonald's and other businesses took up residence within its walls. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot masterfully captured not just an image but also a piece of history frozen in time. This print serves as a reminder of how architecture can shape our surroundings while evoking nostalgia for days gone by.
