Burton's stones
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.

The Tailor of Taste
Burton's have over four hundred stores across Britain. Founded in 1903 by Montague Burton in Chesterfield it grew to become the largest chain of tailors in the world. Indeed, Montague claimed he could supply men with a complete range of clothes in one visit: jacket, trousers, waistcoat, shirt and underwear - what was often called ' The Full Monty'. The firm also had the pleasure of fitting the England football squads, including the 2000, 2002 and cup-winning 1966 teams.

The style may change but the quality doesn't
Burton's in Market Place, showing the way it keeps up to date. Montague Burton borrowed a matter of £100 to found the company in 1903; by the mid-fifties it grew to a massive presence on the High Streets all over Britain with over four hundred branches.
Burton's were at the forefront of the military demands of the Great War, producing about a quarter of all the uniforms. Montague went on to be involved with more humanitarian issues and in 1934 was knighted and appointed a Justice of the Peace.
Not sure you could still buy "A five guinea suit for 55 shillings" but the stores will give the discerning customer plenty of choice.
