EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era on Week Street in Maidstone, Kent. Standing tall and proud, the Burton store signage takes center stage as it adorns the first-floor facade of this historic building. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in the relief carving of the iconic Burton logo, which graces the central parapet above. The vibrant yellow and black colors of the shopfront's fascia add a touch of vibrancy to an otherwise traditional streetscape. This image serves as a poignant reminder of a time when high street shopping was at its peak, bustling with activity and life. Sadly, this once-thriving establishment closed its doors sometime between 2018 and 2021, marking an end to an era for both Burton and Dorothy Perkins. However, through Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this architectural gem frozen in history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but reflect on how our towns and cities have evolved over time. It serves as a testament to the ever-changing nature of commerce and reminds us to cherish these glimpses into our past that allow us to appreciate where we've come from while embracing what lies ahead.
