Sculpture of two men carrying a roll of lino. The Staines Lino Factory was the first factory in the world to manufacture linoleum, a type of floor covering, which was available to everyone. The factory was set up in 1864 and continued to make linoleum for over 100 years and made 'Staines Lino' a world-wide name. There is no trace of the factory now.
