They're not the same photo though. There are far more people in the original posting, as well as the board. There's a clock in the 1910 photo but not the the other, the people at the window are different, as is the man standing on Rowe's balcony.

At least we now know it was an Election for Parliament result celebration.
Here's the next one much less complicated . Where would you see this view?

Are you quite certain that you've got the right election? That board has a first line of "MAR...", a second line of "KING ..." and an indecipherable third line.
The 1904 Isle of Thanet by-election saw Harry Marks (Con) beat Joseph King (Lib). The 1906 general election saw Harry Marks (Con) beat Joseph King (Lib) with Frederick Goodhart (Ind Con) in third place.
If the third line was the majority, then it would suggest 1904 whereas if it were the entry for Goohart then the scene is the 1906 general election.
The January 1910 general election saw Norman Craig (Con) beat Julian Weigall (Lib) whilst in the December 1910 general election Craig was returned unopposed.

This is the celebration of Mr Norman Craig MP for the Isle of Thanet joining the House of Commons January 15th 1910. He was involved in the Budget and the Treasury

Rog has it. It is the declaration of the poll result, from the old town hall at junction of King, Queen and Harbour Street.
Over to you, Grandarog.

Martin is correct, it is a Town Hall. The King reference, I think (although I stand to be corrected) is in connection to the Street name. But what were they doing?

Here's me trying to be clever, and discovering that Salmon and Gluckstein Ltd wasn't a local business. :-( From Wikipedia: "by the turn of the century Salmon and Gluckstein Ltd was the world's largest retail tobacconist, owning 140 retail outlets in 1901"!¹ They were even the finance behind J Lyons & Co Ltd,² of the cakes and coffee shop business. G&T Rowe furnishing Ironmonger doesn't even get a mention in a search engine. The banner opposite the ?town hall? balcony mentions "King", so perhaps this is a royal visit, but where I've no idea yet.

Thanks Granarog. It is a dicey junction as you say.
I do see Sentinel S4 occasionally but not as much. I think he is busy with work, motorbikes and decorating!
Anyway, where is this. I would be interested to know why it attracted so many people.

Hill not Road, that makes a difference! The only Bifrons Road I could find was a cul-de-sac in Patrixbourne.
