The butchered part of the Burtons factory, which overlooks the lagoon at the end of New Cut before it narrows down to flow below Stoke bridge(s). A stylish blue drop-shadow letterform adorns this stark 'BURTONS' block, though the capital 'B' shows that the signwriter appeared to run out of building.
"Contractors busted through the fabric of the building at the top where the confectionery company once painted its name:
'Burtons'
to work on the part of the building fronting College Street which is now the mainly residential 'Cardinal Lofts'. You can see the mangled insides of the Burtons building from Foundry Street which runs beside it. The College Street version of the namestyle which used to be opposite Wolsey's Gate is long gone."
