Some comments:

‘It is difficult to comprehend in a time when all governing bodies voice their concern for heritage conservation and when so many people are interested in family and local history.’

‘If you find that you need to circulate a petition let me know and I’ll put it around…’

‘How may I help? I will be writing to my M.P. in any case.’

‘I think what is happening is a total disgrace.’

‘I will be visiting a number of museums abroad who have consulted

Otley Museum and I shall certainly be making them aware of the situation.’
