Swan Arch and War Memorial, Staines
This is one of two Swan Arches which mark entrances to the riverside Memorial Gardens. They were hand-made from stainless steel by Anthony & Simon Robinson. The motifs on the legs were designed by pupils of Kingscroft Junior School, each depicting images of the town. Both arches have a single swan in flight at the top – the swan represents the symbol of Staines.
The war memorial sits in the Market Square and is built of Portland Stone. It was unveiled by George Bingham, 5th Earl of Lucan, in 1920. It originally sat in the Memorial Gardens, but was moved here in 2002 as part of the town redevelopment scheme. It is mounted by a winged figure of Victory holding a torch and a wreath.

Old Centre of Staines upon Thames
Clarence Street at Staines upon Thames. There is so much history in this photo, going back to Roman times. Clarence Street was built around the same time as the current Staines Bridge (c1832) and has some well-preserved Georgian houses. It is named after Prince William, 1st Duke of Clarence, who visited it on 14th September 1829. He later returned on 23rd April 1832 as William IV with his wife Queen Adelaide, to officially open the new bridge in great ceremony. The Old George Inn (15th century) is on the right as is the entrance to Church Street. On the left is Market Square which led to the older Staines Bridges. To my right, and out of photo, is High Street which was on the line of the old Roman Road through Ad Pontes (meaning by the bridges and the old Roman name for Staines).
