EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The image showcases the iconic Burton store located on the corner of Commercial Road and Meadow Street, as seen from the south. Taken before the construction of the Cascades Shopping Centre, this snapshot provides a glimpse into an era long gone. Meadow Street underwent redevelopment as part of the Cascades Shopping Centre project, most likely in the late 1980s. However, despite these changes, the Burton store at 159-161 Commercial Road managed to withstand time and remained intact. Although some windows on its Meadow Street facade were blocked up over time, this neo-classical building still exudes charm and character. The composition is striking with its blue and white color scheme that adds a touch of elegance to this bustling high street scene. The clean lines and architectural details showcase a bygone era when attention to detail was paramount. Nicholas Anthony John Philpot's photograph not only preserves an important moment in Portsmouth's history but also serves as a reminder of how our urban landscapes evolve over time. It invites us to reflect on our changing society while appreciating the enduring beauty found within historic structures like this one.
