You have it John Walker. For bonus points, what happened when it was taken down?

Ah!  It's not the one I first thought it was.  The windows are different.  I believe that this photo is of the now-demolished East Cliff lift?

I've been in this one a few years back.  I'll hold off for now.

Amazing history to this Building that still exists, so many others are now derelict. Such a shame



Next one: What happened to this? (still exists)

Well done Beachbum.  It is indeed the King's Hall, Herne Bay.  Quite an interesting history.

Not Margate.

During the Napoleonic Wars, a gun position and military camp were at this site. (According to Wiki)

Not Broadstairs.

This place has undergone various changes over the years but much of the original remains.

I DJ'd there in the late 60s / early 70s.  The Nashville Teens were the band that night.
