Histórico
In 1872 a local board of health was established in Staines. This became an urban district council in 1894. The board was concerned with the town hall, commons, cemetery, highways, hospital, finance and drainage. Their first task was to provide a sewer system.
Part of the ancient parish of Staines lay in the tract of countryside known as the warren of Staines which extended as far as Hampton. This land was gradually encroached upon, but by 1844 there were still 381 acreas of common land, and 353 acres were preserved under the Metropolitan Commons Supplemental Act, 1880. The common lands comprised Staines Moor, Shortwood Common, Knowle Green and Birch Green.
