Guildford

The illustration shown in the Burton Ideals in Industry book depicts the building with a pair of sculptural urns at the roofline. While these illustrations, used in vintage Burton advertisements, sometimes used artistic licence, urns are an occasional feature of the in-house designed buildings. Anecdotally this was the very first old Burton building to catch my eye, and so I photographed it. You could say this was where Laid by Monty began!
