Mayor Becky Wall unveiled the plaque, dedicated to butcher William Dodd, in an informal public ceremony at Shrewsbury Market Hall this week.

“For many years to come, his devoted family and friends can bring future generations to visit this tribute to a well-loved trader of the market. As long as this plaque hangs in our town, Will’s memory will live on.”Will’s widow, Dawn said: “This is a lovely gesture. A big thank you to Shrewsbury Town Council for arranging the plaque and to the Mayor for taking the time to mark this occasion.
