Burton (Antique Warehouse), 9-14 Depford Broadway, Borough of Lewisham, London SE8, 2002 • This grille, which I spotted at ground level, alerted me to photograph the shop above it, but if I’d stepped back I’d have seen the whole building was magnificent. By 2012, the neatly-reworded cartouches were covered and the building empty. For more on Burton’s architecture see this article on the Newark Branch, and the National Archives has a good general history.

No, I hadn’t – thanks for the brilliant link. For anyone interested, the link – https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1tAPSD51wm01djRrI6LraDYMIBuc – is a Google map showing the locations of a vast number of the original deco Burton’s stores, both demolished and still existing (which is most of them, fortunately), plus some “possibles”.
