Spelthorne Museum, run by the Spelthorne Archaeology and Local History Group, has moved to a new home in the Library Hub at the Elmsleigh Centre in Staines, near the bus station. Inside you'll find local finds such as a mammoth tusk and Roman pots, a replica of the Neolithic Shepperton Woman, and large items including the London Stone, a printing press and an old fire engine, now displayed in specially designed cases. There are talks, events and fortnightly Saturday craft workshops, plus online features, a 3D image gallery and books for sale. It suits anyone curious about local history and archaeology. Staines station is just 0.3 miles away, and with 83 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's an easy addition to a nearby stay.
