EDITORS COMMENTS

The image captures him striding confidently along the roof of St Pancras Station in London, a sight that surely raised eyebrows and piqued curiosity. While this high-minded exercise may not be everyone's cup of tea, it perfectly aligns with Wollard's daring spirit and thirst for exploration. As a prominent figure on Tomorrow's World, he has always been at the forefront of innovation and cutting-edge technology. But what made this audacious feat possible? Enter Herbert Stokes, a clever Welshman who invented something truly remarkable: Roof Shoes! These ingenious contraptions allowed individuals like William to tread upon unexpected paths and conquer new heights. As we gaze upon this photograph frozen in time, we can't help but admire both the architectural beauty of St Pancras Station's arches and Wollard's determination to forge his own path to success.
