Green Line Through Staines
A London Country bus on the south London orbital 725 route between Gravesend and Windsor via Swanscombe, Northfleet, Dartford, Crayford, Bexley, Sidcup, Chislehurst, Bromley, Beckenham, Addiscombe, Croydon, Wallington, Sutton, North Cheam, New Malden, Worcester Park, Kingston, Hampton Court, Sunbury, Ashford, Staines, Egham and Englefield Green. RF221 - an AEC Regal, deputising for an AEC Swift that would normally be operating on this route in 1976 - is on the eastbound run, on Kingston Road.
Behind the bus was Staines police station - recently replaced by a new building further along Kingston Road. The ironwork on the roof carried the air raid siren. The front of the old police station can be seen in Image by Ray Stanton. The old station and the building to the right of the bus appear to have been converted into offices.
The traffic lights behind the bus are at the junction with London Road / High Street. The parade of shops opposite the junction have been demolished and replaced with an office block.

Roman Frieze on London Road
This Roman Frieze on London Road is just next to the Old Police Station. London Road is on the route of the old Roman Road from London to Silchester. It depicts the Roman era in Staines, when the town was known as Ad Pontes (by the bridges). An inscription on the sculptor states:
“This panel is based on a Samian pot in the style of the potter “Cornutus” AD 125 found on this site”
Other inscriptions on the frieze are AD Pontes AD XLV, Giorgio Fanelli Facit MMII, Hadrian’s Wall CXXII. So I suppose these represent AD Pontes AD 45, Giorgio Fanelli Facit 2002 (possibly maker and date), Hadrian’s Wall 122 (the building of the wall began in AD 122).
