Release Every Pattern

Roll out the lino
from Staines to the world!
Release every pattern
from chessboard to twirl!
In every hopeful kitchen
let life unfurl,
bathrooms are artrooms
from soapsuds to swirl!
Roll out the lino
from Staines to the world!

Richard Price and Leona Medlin
2003

This is the poem wrapped around the lino held by the two guys.
No. 13 (missed 12 by accident) Staines was once a world leader in the manufacture and distribution of linoleum. It was the largest employer in the area. The original factory site is now the Two Rivers shopping area.
