Would that be where the Tilmanstone to Dover Harbour Aerial Ropeway emerged from the cliffs above the eastern arm of Dover Harbour?

Beachbum has it. 

It was at the junction of Canterbury Road and George V Avenue, Westbrook, Margate.

Google now shows it as:

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Westbrook,+Margate/@51.3809413,1.3580177,18z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x47d95258cb035e1f:0xde2ff925919db46d!8m2!3d51.3828212!4d1.3558075!16s%2Fm%2F02w2qgz?entry=ttu

Over to BB.

Thanks John, local knowledge from me as I grew up in this area, or at least in Thanet and learned to drive around these roads.  I still park in this area when visiting Margate old town.  Never went to the shell Groto though.

Now, where is this? It was extant when I was a kid, but no longer.
