SIR – The 1983 film The Dresser had scenes filmed in the Cock & Bottle. The picture starred Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney and Edward Fox.

Tom Courtenay is a son of Yorkshire, of course, and was recently at the National Media Museum picking up another award. I wonder what he thinks about the threat to one of Bradford's gems?

Bradford is the world’s first UNESCO City of Film, but the title doesn’t appear to mean much with regard to the conservation of film locations.
