John Britten Burden (c. 1855 – 15 August 1922) was a pharmacist in Adelaide, South Australia.
Burden was a son of pharmacist Thomas Burden (25 Aug 1817 – 28 Jul 1875) and Sarah Elizabeth Burden, née Good (2 Nov 1824 – 13 Jan 1878) of London, and educated at the City of London School, gaining qualifications as a pharmacist and membership of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.
He worked at this profession at St Leonards in London,[1] and in Italy, before leaving for the colony of South Australia around 1882 or early 1883,[2] to manage the 153 Rundle Street pharmacy of W. H. Harrison, while he was in England[3] gaining qualifications in dentistry.
Burden established his own pharmacy at 48 King William Street by 1886,[7] and a second shop in Henley Beach around 1911.
[10] A similarly branded shop was opened on Torrens Road, Kilkenny, opposite Arndale.
