DON'T let 'them' destroy the lovely old Duke of Malborough (Advertiser, November 5).

My husband proposed to me in that pub way back on Christmas Eve 1966.

Every time we have visited England since we left in 1970, we have always dropped in at The Duke for a pint just to reminisce.

Drop the demolition ball on some of the dirty run-down areas which either got missed or have sprung up since 'The New Redditch' was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
