EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1970, we see William Willard, a Tomorrow's World reporter fearlessly navigating the slopes of St Pancras Station roof using an extraordinary invention known as Roof Shoes. These innovative shoes were originally designed by a Welshman to overcome the challenges faced while fixing aerials to chimneys and performing other roof-related tasks. The Roof Shoes featured in the image are adjustable in three positions, allowing users like William to maintain an upright position even on roofs with steep inclines of up to 45 degrees. Crafted from lightweight aluminum material, these remarkable shoes also boast sponge rubber bottoms that provide excellent traction even on wet surfaces. As William confidently strides across the rooftop, it becomes evident that these unconventional footwear have revolutionized roofing jobs. The photograph captures his adventurous spirit and showcases how technology can enhance our daily lives in unexpected ways. This snapshot not only reflects the daring nature of individuals like William but also highlights the fascinating advancements made during the 1970s. It serves as a reminder of how television programs such as Tomorrow's World played a crucial role in introducing groundbreaking inventions to audiences worldwide.
