Gone but not forgotten (How to deal with recently closed down cafes and tearooms)

I have been cycling round to cafes and blogging about my experiences for nearly two years now. In that time I have posted about 115 cafes in East Anglia and added them to my cafe location map to aide fellow cyclists looking for a cafe stop on their bike ride.

However recently I have become aware of four out of the 115 cafes that have closed down and this has left me in a dilemma. On the one hand I want the information to be up to date but on the other hand I don't want to lose the history of all my rides.

I have therefore come up with a 3 point plan to deal with this situation.

1. Remove all closed cafes form the cafe locations map and locations list
2. Remove all closed cafes from cafe league table
3. Keep the post relating to the cafe available on the blog but put a note at the the top of the relevant post stating it is now closed

I have implemented these changes for the four now closed cafes which are:

Stephanie's in Eaton

The Mill at Yaxham

No 5 at Harleston 

Maxims at Lenwade

I'm sad to see them go but I have another 55 to visit on my current to do list. These have been recommended by people who have contacted me to tell me of their favourite destination so there is still much to be done in the cycle cafe world.
