EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Chippenham, Wiltshire. Standing proudly at 1 Market Place is the iconic Burton store, a symbol of timeless elegance and fashion. Built in 1937, this art deco masterpiece was a testament to the vision and craftsmanship of its era. The foundation stones were laid by members of the esteemed Burton family themselves, adding an extra layer of significance to this historical landmark. From its vantage point in the north, we get a glimpse into the vibrant high street culture that once thrived here. Shoppers can be seen strolling along, their faces filled with anticipation as they approach this renowned establishment. Burton tailoring and menswear have long been synonymous with quality and style, attracting discerning customers from near and far. This photograph captures not just a building but also an era when attention to detail mattered most. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it's impossible not to appreciate how much has changed since then. Yet there is something comforting about knowing that certain elements endure - like our desire for sartorial excellence or our appreciation for architectural beauty. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's lens has immortalized this slice of history for us all to cherish. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, some things are worth preserving - both within our wardrobes and within our communities.
