now-demolished
East Cliff lift?

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.
