H.G. Wells & Woking
The plaque below the Woking Martian Tripod reads - 'This sculpture is the artist's interpretation of a "walking engine of glittering metal". It celebrates Woking as the birthplace of modern science-fiction and marks the centenary of H.G. Wells' first edition of "The War of the Worlds". In this pioneering novel humanity is saved from an overwhelming Martian invasion by Earth's smallest creatures, bacteria. This sculpture was unveiled by the Mayor of Woking, Cllr. Mrs. Irene K Matthews, April 1998.' For a picture of a tripod refer to picture Image and for a reference to H.G. Wells' house in London refer to Image
