Looking for Usain....... Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dumpster41: Checked on this one again as I was in the area, and it has now been swallowed up by the building site, and as far as I can see the host is no longer there, so its time for this one to go.

Geocache Description:

I Hope you enjoy looking at the reasonable impressive Council Offices building with clocktower


Since the 1920s Staines Urban District Council has had a number of homes: The Town Hall, 33 Clarence Street, London Road, High Street, etc. 

By 1970 things had got so bad, the council had offices scattered all over the place. It was then decided to build the current offices at Knowle Green to bring all the different departments under one roof. 

The offices were opened in September 1972. The building cost £400,000 and was the first of a number of civic facilities planned for Knowle Green. Spelthorne Borough Council was formed soon afterwards, by the joining Staines and Sunbury Councils in 1974. 

The building was extended in 1985 and the council is still housed here today. 

You do not need to enter the carpark, or cross any fences to get this cache.

Congratulations to iamkirstywoo on a very fast FTF (18 mins from publication to log submitted).
