There is a padlock on the door. A bill on the doormat.
On the corner of King Street and Lowther Street, in the west Cumbrian town of Whitehaven, is the carcass of a High Street giant.
Etched into the cream coloured stone work above the first floor windows are the words: Montague Burton, the Tailor of Taste.
At knee height, at street level, a gold coloured inscription: This stone laid by Arnold James Burton, 1938.
Stitched into the corporate history of Burton s, the menswear shop, was a tradition to lay these stones; this one a reference to Montague s youngest son.
