SIR – I am not surprised that the owner of the cafe at Cliffe Castle, Cheryl Holdsworth, has seen her business decline dramatically (‘Owner fears for future of cafe’, Telegraph& Argus, August 16).

I am sure I am not the only person who just assumed that the cafe was closed because the museum was.

Can we have more publicity for this useful and pleasant little cafe, and should not Bradford Council, which has caused the problem by closing the museum for a year, be compensating the owner in some way?
