| I cannot agree with your editorial (15 September) defending the name change at the Tricycle theatre. The PR brigade seem to have been at work. It is one thing to rename a theatre after a distinguished artist (Pinter, Novello, Coward, Lynne) or a major funder (Dorfman, Linbury, Jerwood), but not an oven! The Tricycle is a well-loved community asset and a valued theatrical brand that should not be jettisoned so lightly or with so little regard for the community it serves. Fortunately, the Bush, King’s Head and Arcola theatres were not so foolish as to change their valued names when they relocated.Tim FosterPartner, Foster Wilson Architects | I cannot agree with your editorial (15 September) defending the name change at the Tricycle theatre.

Developer-speak changed it to Harbourside. That might sell more flats; but the canons and the marsh have been erased.Graham BalfryBristol | • “A change of name does not mean an erasure of history”.
