The station was relocated immediately to the south side of Harbour St.
Wikipedia entry for The Canterbury & Whitstable Railway indicates and earlier location for Whitstable Harbour station, a few chains W of the first shown here, about where the "P.H." is located. BRS shows an earlier station closing 14/06/1846 but the location is unclear from the accompanying map. It does suggest it was located further NW along the actual harbour branch. The Canterbury & Whitstable Railway OL27 p12 states that a new harbour station was opened in 1846, but no details of location are given.
