Shrewsbury Market Hall"legend" William Dodd passed away on September 19 after battling an illness for 11 weeks in hospital. He was 65.
Market officer Rob Miles said: “Our thoughts and prayers go out to Will’s family and friends. He wasn’t just a stall holder, he was a friend and a brother to us. Will had a great sense of humour. He was someone who enjoyed a laugh and a joke, and he was a great family man.
