The Woking Martian: explanatory plaque in the pavement
Near this plaque is a sculpture (Image, Image) erected in 1998 to mark the centenary of the publication of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds": it depicts one of the gleaming tripods in which Wells' Martians travel about the British landscape after landing on Horsell Common just north of Woking town centre. As the plaque explains, Woking can as a result be seen as the birthplace of modern science fiction.
