EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the nostalgic year of 1967, as the legendary comedy duo Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise embark on a sentimental journey to Dewsbury in Yorkshire. As they stroll through the quaint town, memories come flooding back for Ernie, who fondly recalls their humble beginnings at the Dewsbury Empire. Ernie's voice is filled with warmth and nostalgia as he reminisces about their early days performing in "Little Red Riding Hood" at this very theater. It was during this time that their careers were taking off, and they found themselves earning a substantial salary of £80 per week - a remarkable leap from their previous earnings of £37 10s. Captured within this snapshot is Ernie Wise himself, standing inside a charming Jewellery shop in Dewsbury. This particular establishment holds great significance for him as it was here that he purchased an engagement ring for his beloved wife Doreen. The love between them shines through not only in Ernie's words but also in the tender image of Doreen captured alongside him. Dennis Hussey has masterfully preserved this moment from Memory Lane Prints, allowing us to witness firsthand the genuine camaraderie and success that defined Morecambe and Wise's iconic double act. Their legacy lives on through images like these - forever reminding us of their unparalleled talent and timeless humor.
