More about StainesStaines is a Thames-side town
in the Spelthorne borough of Surrey and part of the
London Commuter Belt of South East England. It is a
suburban development within the western bounds of the
M25 motorway and located 17 miles (27 km) west
south-west of Charing Cross in London.
The name Staines is thought to derive from Old English
for 'stones', due to a long-lost site of monoliths in
nearby Stanwell. Others believe the name to derive from
'St Anne's in the Thames'.
There has been a bridge since Roman times (hence the
Roman name of the town Pontes). Claudius led the Romans
into Britain in 43 AD and they settled in Staines the
same year. Soon after this invasion the first Staines
Bridge was constructed to provide an important Thames
crossing point on main road from Londinium (London) to
Silchester, near Reading.
A border stana, or stone, on the bank of the River
Thames, dated 1280, still remains, indicating the
western limit of the City of London jurisdiction over
the Thames. (Although familiarly known as 'the London
Stone', it is not to be confused with its more famous
(and probably more ancient) namesake located in Cannon
Street in the City of London).
The situation of Staines as a major crossing point over
the River Thames, its position on the main road from
London to the southwest, and its proximity to Windsor
has led to the town being involved in national affairs.
The barons assembled there before they met King John at
Runnymede in 1215, and Stephen Langton held a
consecration there shortly after the issue of Magna
Carta. Sir Thomas More was tried in 1535 in a Staines
public house, to avoid the outbreak of plague in London
at that time. Kings and other important people must have
passed through the town on many occasions: the church
bells were rung several times in 1670, for instance,
when the king and queen went through Staines.
Staines was the major producer of linoleum, a type of
floor covering, after the formation of the Linoleum
Manufacturing Company in 1864 by its inventor, Frederick
Walton. Linoleum became the main industry of the town
and was a major employer in the area up until the 1960s.
In 1876 about 220 and in 1911 about 350 people worked in
the plant. By 1957 it employed some 300 people and in
1956 the factory produced about 3,200 sq yd. of linoleum
each week. The term 'Staines Lino' became a world-wide
name but the factory was closed around 1970 and is now
the site of the Two Rivers shopping centre. A bronze
statue of two lino workers in Staines High Street
commemorates the Staines Lino Factory. The Spelthorne
Museum in Staines has a display dedicated to the
Linoleum Manufacturing Company.
Staines was the site of the Staines air disaster in
1972, at the time the worst air crash to have occurred
on British soil, until the Lockerbie disaster of 1988.
The crash was commemorated in June of 2004, with the
opening of a dedicated garden, created at the request of
relatives, near to the crash site, and the unveiling of
a stained glass window at St. Marys Church, where a
memorial service was held.
In 1894, the Local Government Act 1894 created the
Staines Urban District of Middlesex. In 1965, under the
London Government Act 1963, most of the rest of
Middlesex became part of Greater London while Staines
Urban District was transferred to Surrey. In 1974, under
the Local Government Act 1972, the Staines Urban
District was abolished and its area combined with that
of the former Sunbury-on-Thames Urban District to form
the present-day borough of Spelthorne.
Staines has a fairly compact town centre mainly focused
on a wide pedestrianised High Street, housing most
familiar names such as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, TK
Maxx and Monsoon. Smaller independent units can be found
in Church Street, Clarence Street and the eastern end of
the High Street. A market in the pedestrianised High
Street is held every Wednesday and Saturday. It is one
of the largest and busiest street markets in Surrey. A
moderately-sized shopping centre (Elmsleigh) is directly
behind the High Street. A pleasant retail park was
opened in 2002 called Two Rivers which is bisected by
the confluence of the rivers Wraysbury and Colne.
Retailers include Waitrose as well as a Vue cinema, gym
and cafes.
Staines is on the North bank of the Thames. NW along the
river is Wraysbury, while to the SW along the river is
Laleham. To the East (along the A30 is Ashford. The
neighborhood Knowle Green adjoins it, and across the
Thames is Egham Hythe and then Egham.
