There is a padlock on the door. A bill on the doormat.
On the corner of King Street and SLOTXO 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.
Whitehaven is far from unique in wearing the bruises of the pandemic and the migration of shopping online.
But something else is happening here. People are leaving too.
I meet the directly elected Mayor of Copeland, Conservative Mike Starkie, by the main run of shops on King Street.
He is candid. He has to stop the exodus - by providing people, particularly young people, with reasons to stay. He is a man of energy; enthusing about his vision for Whitehaven's future.
But the name I keep seeing, as we wander along, is Peill and Co: an estate agents specialising in commercial property. To Let signs are everywhere.
Burtons is one of many, many casualties here.
