A school report from 1936, sent from Lancaster Road was returned with a message written by Eric's mother, Sadie Bartholomew, on the back.

It reads, "I am disgusted with this report and would be obliged if you would make him do more homework as I would see he did it here, S. Bartholomew."

Eric’s senior school report when he was 14 years old and already involved in acting, described him as “A trier, but very untidy in written work.”

One Lancaster Road teacher remarked Eric was "absent for most of his exams".

All the items and belongings from the Morecambe family home will be put up for sale through an auction conducted by Hansons Auctioneers.
