SIR – I am 84 years old and remember the happy times we had at the Odeon. But in my day it was known as the New Victoria.

I think the design of the building is lovely and is part of Bradford and holds lots of memories for people like myself. It will be sad to see it go.

The Alhambra is a great success, so why not repeat the same design for the New Victoria (Odeon)?
