Spectators at Dreamland (firework field) during 1924/25

Four photos of crowds watching Margate play at Dreamland during the 1924/25 season. In the bottom photo the two spectators on the far right at the front are believed to be Mr W H Curtis who was headmaster of Salmestone Junior School and his deputy. On the extreme left of the next picture up you can see a young boy holding a striped stick which looks like it might have marked the corner of the pitch and the crowd are standing on wooden boards. The top two pictures were almost certainly taken on 15.11.24 (Royal Naval Depot Chatham) and 24.1.25 (Ashford Railway Works) respectively. The man in the bowler hat smoking a pipe to the right in the first photo also appears in a similar position in the second photo - well done to Derek Scott for spotting that.
