Margate harbour arm?


You have it Stewie. Its a still from the great movie 'Last Orders'. From left to right Bob Hoskins, Ray Winston, David Hemmings, and Tom Courtenay. With Michael Caine playing the ashes.  :D   
American road movies have Route 66, but we have the A2! With stop-offs at  Rochester, Chatham and Canterbury along the way. Well worth a watch.
Over to you.

Isn't that from a TV program about 4 blokes dealing with the ashes of a friend?  Still have no idea who or where though!

You have it Shoot999 - it is indeed Brenchley.  Over to you.


Edward Martin (24 November 1814 – 31 October 1869) was an English professional
cricketer. He played for Hampshire sides and for Kent County Cricket Club  Martin was born at Brenchley in Kent in 1814.
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Spent her early life in Brenchley.  (born Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones, 20 January 1965) is a member of the British royal family. She is married to Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Wat Tyler (c. 1320/4 January 1341 – 15 June 1381) was a leader of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England. Thought to have been born in Brenchley. He led a group of rebels from Canterbury to London to oppose the institution of a poll tax and to demand economic and social reforms. While the brief rebellion enjoyed early success, Tyler was killed by officers loyal to King Richard II during negotiations at Smithfield, London.
