Is that the scrub land at TR 38647 64863?
EDIT:  I should have been clearer, is the Ramsgate turntable now the scrub land at TR 38647 64863?

No idea about Yuma.Maybe it was to do with the Mechanical Elephant that used to walk up and down at Margate. The gentle man presumably Yuma certainly looks to be Eastern by his dress.
The Margate Wetherspoons is named after it.The period of the photo would fit.

Spot on JW 8) Please see attached image of the Location.

The mystery is that I have no idea who or what Yuma is, perhaps someone out there will?

Otherwise over to you JW

Is that the end of Ramsgate beach station where the turntable was?  Can't find any record of Yuma - was he a circus performer?

Thanks Lutonman.
Back in the days of local companies that you could deal with a person direct and not a call centre................



Okay, the next one has a clue within. So where and who?
