Former branches of Burton the Tailors can be found throughout the UK and Ireland. Many still have foundation stones laid by a member of the Burton family, which inspired the name of this site.
The Art Deco stores were designed by Harry Wilson, Burton’s in-house architect from around 1923, and his successor Nathaniel Martin, who took over in 1937. Burton was a hugely successful company, with hundreds more stores that fall outside of the Art Deco era. These are gradually being added to the database as well.
The table below lists every known Burton location we’ve documented, surviving and demolished, Deco and non-Deco alike. Use the images above the table to choose which to include, or search for a specific location by name. You can click or tap column headings to sort the table.
