THE HG WELLS COLLECTION A photograph of the author HG Wells

H.G. Wells’ The Argonauts of the Air incorporated Worcester Park as the setting for the 1895 novel.
2016 celebrated the 150th year of his birth. Resident Richard Johnson, a fan of the author, was disappointed to find that Worcester Park’s library had none of the author’s novels in stock, and so set out on a mission to populate the library with his works.

As a result, local traders have donated HG Wells' volumes to Worcester Park library. More than 40 are available. Worcester Park is split between Epsom and Ewell, Kingston and Sutton, so all councils involved have agreed that the books can be loaned to readers with their current library cards.
