Drain Cover
This is one of three Renshaw drain covers in News Street. John Enoch Renshaw started his Iron Foundry around 1903 at Mill Mead. Now the aptly named the Renshaw Industrial Estate. The foundry closed in the mid-1970s. However, there are still some other examples of its street furniture within the town.

London Road, Staines - view towards the town centre
Worth comparing with Martin Addison's 1976 contribution Image which was taken from about the same spot (near the corner of Greenlands Road) and with similar orientation.
Shot taken at about 2.20pm on December 29th, 2013. For the record, the price of unleaded petrol at the Shell garage was 129.9p per litre.

London Road
A view of London Road (A308) as it was in 1976. Very little has changed building wise - the white fencing around the service station forecourt appears to have gone and the associated vehicle maintenance facility appears to have changed name. The dual carriageway sign has gone though.
The bus on the 216 is RF449 an AEC Regal. It is in its last few months of service from Kingston garage and was withdrawn in October 1976. It saw subsequent use in a non-psv role until being scrapped in 1985. Information from Ian's Bus Stop at http://www.countrybus.org/rf/RF4a.htm
