Woking Borough Council is co-ordinating a series of events this year to celebrate Woking's association with the author H.G. Wells and the 150th anniversary since his birth.
As part of these 'Wells in Woking' celebrations Woking Borough Council has commissioned a public figurative sculpture to honour the life of H.G. Wells and the period of his life he lived in Woking from 1895. This is to be a permanent reminder of his contribution to science fiction and will be located in Woking town centre as the first sculpture of H.G. Wells in the country.
Woking Borough Council is compiling a programme detailing the events planned for the H.G. Wells celebrations including the unveiling of this sculpture on Wednesday 21 September 2016, H.G. Wells’ 150th birthday.
As the sculptor successfully commissioned to produce the statue I have created a blog to provide updates and an insight into creating this public sculpture - www.hgwellsstatue.com
