Montague Burton - Detail

Friar Lane / Beastmarket Hill

This shop still carries the Burton label, but it seems that the women (Dorothy Perkins), now have the lions share of floor space. In the 1950's & 60's no man would have been seen out on a Saturday night without a suit and tie and this Montague Burton's store was probably the No.1 supplier of made to measure and off the peg suits for the working classes during that era.
