Welcome by Pamela Maryfield

Staines is special. Yes, it is a splendid and varied, though modestly sized, shopping centre, but it is very much more. It deserves some time for exploration beyond the shops to appreciate its character.

First, Staines is a Thameside town. The river has given Staines importance and an economic lifeline. Today, it is the setting for leisurely picnics and for enjoying the boating life of skiffs, punts, sleek fibre- glass regatta racers and old fashioned barges. A good place to enjoy this river scene is the Memorial Gardens, newly laid out with water features and a sculpture of the town’s symbol, its swans. The upstream view is framed by the elegant 1832 John Rennie bridge, while that downstream is punctuated by the spire of St Peter’s church.

For the Romans, the Thames crossing at Staines was an early and strategic point and may even have pre-dated the crossing in . Why choose this particular point? The reason is geological. Unusually in the lower Thames valley, there is a series of gravel islands on either side of the river. These provide settlement sites above the flood plain and sound footings north and south for a bridge. If you are observant, you may still distinguish the small rises in the land right across the town centre. Excavations in the 1970s ahead of developing the Elmsleigh Centre, revealed valuable evidence of a Roman settlement and the wet conditions preserved scraps of perishable articles such as leather sandals and a wooden comb.

Staines has other snatches of waterways which have been incorporated into the most recent developments. North of the pedestrianised High Street - a lively spot on market days - The River Coln flows through the Two Rivers Shopping Centre. Wander west a little into Hale Street and Church Street to find the River flowing to the Coln before both join the Thames near the Town Pier.

Staines Bridge is essentially the graceful structure opened by William IV in 1832 and designed by John Rennie. It was the fourth attempt to replace the medieval bridge, itself partially destroyed in the 17th century during the civil war, when Staines was, for a time, at the heart of the fighting. It was eventually held by the Parliamentary forces, whose soldiers were billeted on the townsfolk and left As a local employer we care for our community, without paying their bills! customers and employees alike.

There has been relief in several stages, making for years of awkward compromise and the loss of some Visit: www.bupapeople.com “heritage” - the oldest buildings and much of the street pattern. But, at last the various schemes have come together and the losses have provoked a vigorous and watchful civic pride. However, Staines has always focused onm its long held ambition, to be a major, vibrant and welcoming town centre.
