It’s quite common to be in a queue on the road there. Two causes.
Railway station close by.
The church on the horizon in the photo sits on a crossroads.

Further west(ish) Diapason, and don’t forget it’s very near water.
A Grade 1 listed structure is very close.

The flags are a mystery to me.
Mid 19th century this was an area heavily involved in hop growing.
Water close by.

Hop pickers' huts somewhere? There look to be oasts in the distance.

Are the Union Flags significant? Scout camp?

I've defaulted to a Google screenshot.
Where is this row of huts? There are excellent clues in the picture, that I left in. There are quite a few images from many dates of this view, so you get the sense that its a busy road.

Broadstairs, St Peters Park Road, I think GSV gives a glimpse of 28 on the left hand side.
You have it JohnFilmer. Thanks for the location data MartinR and other info Beachbum.
From what I have found so far, it has had many uses since the 1950s when one of them was a sweetshop but I can't find anything further back than that. This building looks quite interesting so I guess there is more of a history than I have found.
Over to you JohnFilmer

So this is indeed number 26 and 28.From a distant memory, 28 was a Tobacconist and 26 possibly a Barbers?Behind was a Railway fed coal depot with sidings.
