This print captures the essence of Nelson Street in Greenwich, Greater London. The former Burton store stands proudly on the corner of Nelson Street and Greenwich High Road, showcasing its stunning curved facade adorned with eye-catching posters that cover the ground floor shopfront. The building itself is a testament to art deco architecture, boasting intricate stone carvings and relief carvings that add a touch of elegance to its overall design. One cannot help but admire the geometric motifs incorporated into this magnificent structure. A noteworthy detail about this historical site is that foundation stones were laid at the Burton store back in 1932 by Stanley Howard Burton and Barbara Jessie Burton. This adds an extra layer of significance to an already remarkable landmark. As you gaze upon this photo print, you can't help but be transported back in time to when bustling high streets were filled with life and activity. The presence of animals depicted within the artwork further enhances the charm and character of this scene. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot has expertly captured both the grandeur and subtleties of this architectural gem through his lens. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and showcases how even commercial buildings can become works of art themselves.
