The first known Burton store! Very little is known about Montague Burton prior to his taking out insurance on this shop in 1904 under the name “Morris Burton, hosier and draper”. The 1905 burgess roll records his residential address as 1 Saltergate, which adjoined the shop to the rear, apparently lodging under a Miss Naylor before moving to Spencer Street.
