Some of Staines's older shop buildings
W H Smith and Debenhams (formerly Kennards) are little changed externally from when I was a child growing up in Staines in the 60s and 70s, unlike many of the shops in this town.

Staines Bridge
The bridge spans the River Thames at Staines. There has been a bridge here since Roman times - initially a wooden bridge. This was replaced by a stone bridge in 1796. When this began to crack, it was replaced with an iron bridge, which was itself replaced in 1807. The current bridge was opened in 1832 by King William IV and Queen Adelaide.

Staines High Street
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.

Debenhams at Staines
Debenhams Store at Staines upon Thames. It is the largest retail outlet in the town with a floor area of 133,367 square feet (2.6 acres) over four floors. The history of this store started c1840 when Robert Morford opened a drapers store near the bottom of the High Street. By the 1880s it had developed into a department store named Morford & Goodman. During the Second World War it was taken over by Kennards, and smaller units in Thames Street were used to enlarge the business.
In 1956 Kennards demolished all the small units which made up its store, plus a few other adjacent buildings, and in their place constructed a
purpose-built department store. In 1973 Kennards store at Staines became Debenhams. When initially built the store consisted of three floors and since an extra floor has been added.
