EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to January 1972 at Calais Market. The image captures the unfortunate predicament of Ernie Lea, a dedicated fish stall owner known for his jellied eels. As the photograph suggests, Ernie's hopes of selling his delectable seafood delicacy were dashed when he encountered an unexpected obstacle. With determination in his eyes and a barrow filled with freshly prepared jellied eels, Ernie had embarked on a journey across the Channel to showcase his fast food creation at Calais Market. However, fate had other plans for him that day. Despite his best efforts and undoubtedly mouthwatering product, it seems that fortune did not favor Ernie's venture abroad. The snapshot encapsulates both disappointment and resilience as Ernie stands by his empty stall amidst bustling market activity. It serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life's endeavors and how even well-intentioned ventures can sometimes fall short of expectations. This evocative image transports us back to an era where local markets thrived with vibrant characters like Ernie Lea who poured their heart into their trade. It invites viewers to reflect on the challenges faced by small business owners while also igniting nostalgia for simpler times when traditional foods like jellied eels held cultural significance in communities. As we observe this frozen moment in time through Memory Lane Prints' lens, let us appreciate the dedication and perseverance displayed by individuals like Ernie Lea
