The Deptford branches
You can walk from Greenwich (which has its own
remarkable
Burton building) to Deptford in 10 minutes, but somewhere en route you cross a cultural
precipice. There is a striking Burton relic in Deptford at 9-12 Broadway:
Clearly the street level no longer communicates magnificence.
Given the size and demographic of the area, there is no surprise that Burton was very present,
and other preceding stores are listed.

The
London Street Directory of 1940
lists one at 4,7 & 9 Deptford High Street:
(Google streetview -- the 4 is presumably anomalous), a site ahich has been redeveloped.
As yet, no vintage picture
of in in use as MB has been found.
-
Another is listed in the
same source
at 87 Deptford High Street:
(Google streetview)
which is almost certainly the original building (and not Monty). As yet, no vintage picture
of in in use as MB has been found.
