Amazing photos. Thank you for sharing. Who knew there were so many motor cars around then?
Re the final photo: I believe that’s the corner of Fairlawn Park/Sydenham Road and though lightning may never strike the same place twice, German bombs did. That same spot was bombed again in WW2.

An interesting little read here …
Yes the 4th pic definitely shows the Grand Theatre in Margate
