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. text/html 2005-04-12T20:15:04GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/141 Al Menzies 51.009667 -1.466858 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2829 The lake is just one small feature of this beautiful garden. text/html 2005-04-12T20:01:42GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/141 Al Menzies 51.433058 -0.512496 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2819 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.
