Definitely on the right “track” on Stone Street, wrong building.


It is very clear on GSV.

I'm thinking perhaps Stone Street then.  Not available on GSV but the Stone Street Club has similar windows ?

Not King Street, wrong road.


The name of the road has a hint as to its origins.


Police connection is correct.

Is it the building that is now Morlings Solicitors in King Street?


Possibly a previous police station going by your social history clue.

Grandarog - you have it.  (I was running out of clues)

The clues:


Bones:  The vast collection of ancient skulls etc in the nearby St Leonards Church.
Water:  The Royal Military Canal and the sea.
Railway Terminus:  Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway Station
Brewery:  Mackesons


Over to you ......

Using the iPad I can only get an obtuse view, but is it Lloyd’s Bank Hythe?

Margate?


Not Margate Lutonman.  It did have a brewery but not a terminus station.


The bones is a good clue to the town.
