Burton's stones
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 30 Jun 2014
One of a pair of foundation stones of Burton's in Chippenham. Appropriately enough, they were laid by the twins, Raymond and Arnold, who were born in 1918 and became part of the Burton boardroom around the end of WWII. Raymond was responsible for the firm's property portfolio and later helped to found the Top Shop brand. See Image] for the other stone.
