EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Burton in Longton, a historic market town nestled within Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The image showcases the iconic Burton store located at 27-29 Market Street, as seen from the west. Standing tall and proud, this architectural gem exudes a timeless charm that has been an integral part of the local high street for decades. The white faience facade adorned with delicate blue accents adds an elegant touch to this beloved shopping destination. Its grandeur is further accentuated by its prominent position on Market Street, drawing shoppers and passersby alike into its welcoming embrace. However, nostalgia looms over this photograph as we learn that in 2020-2021, both Burton and Dorothy Perkins bid farewell to their loyal customers within these very walls. This poignant reminder serves as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of our modern world. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's expertly captured image invites us to reflect upon the changing face of retail and how cherished establishments like this one have played significant roles in shaping our communities throughout history. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only the aesthetic beauty it presents but also recognize its historical value – a visual record of an era gone by yet forever etched into our collective memory.
