EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of the Burton store in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Standing proudly on Calverley Road, this iconic building showcases a remarkable upper elevation that leaves viewers in awe. The art deco design is evident in every sculpted detail, from the intricate scallop patterns to the meticulously crafted facade. Once a standalone structure, this historic building later became the entrance to the renowned Royal Victoria Place shopping centre when it opened its doors in October 1992. Its transformation into an integral part of this bustling retail hub only adds to its significance and charm. Photographer Nicholas Anthony John Philpot has expertly captured not just a mere shop or high street scene but rather an artistic masterpiece frozen in time. This image serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and historical preservation. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme and attention to detail was paramount. It reminds us of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate the beauty that lies within our urban landscapes.
