Two River Sprites
The Two River Sprites statue is a sculpture by David Backhouse and was placed here in 2001. The plaque next to the sculpture reads: “The “Two River Sprites” emerge from the water, hands linked. Their meeting is symbolic of the vitality and life of the waterways which converge on this site”.

Staines High Street railway station (site), Surrey
Opened in 1884 by the London & South Western Railway on the line from Richmond to Windsor & Eton Riverside, this station closed in 1916.
View north from the road. Being on an embankment, most of the construction would have been of wood. Although the railway line is very much in uses, no trace of the former station apparently remains. For more detail, see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/staines_high_street/

Tilly's House, Tilly's Lane, Staines
Tilly’s Lane is named after a 19th century barber. Tilly's House is half way along, on the right, and is now a cafe. With the redevelopment on the High Street and the building of Two Rivers Shopping Centre, Tilly's Lane was widened and the house was preserved by taking it down brick by brick and rebuilding it where it now sits. Excavations here, at the time, revealed Romano-British settlement established in the second half of the 1st century AD, soon after the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD.
