PANEL WITH WILLIAM KNIBB

EKTA mosaic in Newlands Shopping Centre erected 18th October 2003 and unveiled by identical twins Helen and Frances STROUD, three times great granddaughters of William's twin Ann and by Philip SAWFORD MP

PANEL WITH WILLIAM KNIBB:  EKTA felt that it was important to depict William KNIBB in the panels but have chosen non-naturalistic colours.  On one side of his head there are oak leaves and acorns to symbolise his roots in Kettering and on the other side there are palm leaves to symbolise his time in Jamaica, a time which had a profound impact on him.  Beneath him are two lines of 'paper-chain' figures holding hands: paper chains just like all bondage can and will be broken.  William KNIBB was instrumental breaking such chains.  The dates underneath this show birth and death.
