I think I've worked this one out and am fairly sure I know where the door led to.  I'll hold back as I think others might have fun solving this one.

Thanks John Walker, and MartinR for not giving up the search.


So your next one: What were these Buildings for? and where does the secret door go to?

It's just shown on Google as    Pablo Bronstein - Beach Hut

One of many art projects dotted around Folkestone.  Some are very strange.

There's another one a bit further along the beach walk.  The Ledge by Bill Woodrow 

I think it's over to you Beachbum.

I spent ages cruising along the road above, convinced that it was a cctv mast or such…

As ever, easy when you know the answer  ::)

I've got to give to you MartinR.  You don't give in easily :)
Move to the coastal path from the Grand and you will be very close.
