Cardiff – 33-35 Queen Street

Probably the earliest Cardiff branch, shown in the 1925 Burton 25th anniversary booklet. Although located inside an older building, a planning application was submitted in 1937 to replace the shopfronts in the more familiar Art Deco style, incluging the ‘chain of merit’ window lights on both the Queen Street frontage and along three bays inside Dominions Arcade. This was despite the Art Deco branch at 4-6 Queen Street likely being up and running by this time (the original application having been submitted in 1930).
