Staines used to have some old buildings, but the council and developers are determined to get rid of them. This, for instance...
Staines Masonic Lodge by SteveH, on Flickr
...is now two tower blocks. Became the lodge in 1923 and was the wine vaults for Messrs M&H Ashby before that.

Does the old Routemaster count as old?

According to these people, "Built in 1961, RML883 is the 3rd ‘Routemaster Long’ ever made!"

And we have to have a silly one...

Old scene in Brighton. No longer exists.

where am I? by Kate Ferris, on Flickr

Wow, that takes me back more than a bit... When I was a lad we occasionally had days out in Brighton and Churchill Square was still pretty new...

Looks a lot different now.

Shippams old clock...


Shippams Were Here by Nigel Hayes, on Flickr

All that's left of the old Shippams factory is the clock and a couple of walls. When the place was still making Shippams paste it could get quite smelly in Chichester....D)
