Eric Bartholomew, Morecambe, Wetherspoons

Born in 1926, Eric Bartholomew adopted the name of his native town and enjoyed a highly successful career as one half of the Morecambe and Wise double-act.

Just around the corner from this pub is the statue of Eric Morecambe, set against the backdrop of Morecambe Bay. Appropriately, the statue shows him in a one-legged pose, and has become one of Morecambe's favourite attractions. Visitors pose alongside 'Eric' for photos, and delight in the lyrics from his best-known song, Bring Me Sunshine, which are carved into the granite steps leading up to his statue.
