He was described as a 'gentle giant'
The daughter of well-known and respected cobbler, David Knight, affectionately known as 'Tank', said she was 'gutted' to learn that a commemorative plaque had been unveiled without the involvement of his family or friends. The plaque was installed at the Idlewells Market in Sutton in Ashfield in May this year to mark his death in 2021.
For a number of years, Mr Knight ran The Market Cobbler at the Idlewells Indoor Market. But Mr Knight, who lived in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, died last year at the age of 62. Mr Knight was having vascular problems in winter last year and he was diagnosed with vascular arterial disease. He developed leg ulcers and, in the end, had both his legs amputated before his death.
When it comes to righting the wrong, does Ms Paylor think there is anything that the market could do in order to make amends? "There is nothing that could make it right. It's a lovely gesture that they've done and how can you be mad at something that's been put up to remember someone? There is a part of me that is happy that it is there but there is another part who thinks it shouldn't have happened.
