Greenlands Road, Staines
A pleasant area of pre war suburban housing with not really enough room for all the cars.
Quite quiet, with the top end blocked off to vehicles.

Leacroft Centre, Raleigh Court - former Drill Hall (2)
Looking across Raleigh Court towards the north side of the Leacroft Centre, which was once the drill hall for the 8th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment (H Company) and which first appears on the 1914-15 O.S. map. The building seems to be in good condition and well used as a youth centre, although what the old soldiers would make of the loud music that was playing when I was warmly welcomed in, I don't know!

Inside the Leacroft Centre - former Drill Hall
The former drill hall of the 8th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment (H Company) seems to be in very good condition, and well used as a youth centre for all types of activities, although what the old soldiers would make of the loud music that was playing when I was warmly welcomed in, I don't know!

Drill Hall plaque on Leacroft Centre, Raleigh Court
This 'Drill Hall' plaque is high above the main door of the Leacroft Centre, so there is no mistaking the building's original purpose. See also:

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Mormon church at 41 Kingston Road.
This church is on an unusually large number of business style websites like Yell & Yelp etc. all of which give you no information at all apart from a map and the address.
All I could find apart from all that is that the Fulham Brass Band rehearsed here in 2012, so that will have to do.

Roman Shields Sculpture
This 7m tall sculpture is on the corner of London Road and Greenlands Road and in the grounds of Centurion House. The Roman shields are made of self coloured iron and remember the town’s Roman past. It was along here that Roman soldiers marched on their way from London to Silchester and evidence of the Roman road has been found at the site. The sculpture was created by Terence Clark in 1998. His signature is a tiny snail which he affixes to each of his works.
