In 2001 the feature film "Last Orders" was partly shot in Margate about a group of London drinking pals honouring the dying wish of a pal. In July 1783, a group of drinking pals arrived in Margate with a huge coffin also to honour a dying wish of a pal.
The famous Scottish Surgeon John Hunter a collector of human exhibits had other ideas and this article by the Margate Historical Society Vol 8 No2 makes excellent reading. Written and research by Mick Twyman it is for downloading.
