Hi Ash, The Star cinema was on Church Street which ran parallel to Stamford Street. It closed in 1947 and was demolished in the early 60s. The last film was Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in “Ziegfeld Follies” The archive centre at Ashton Library has photos and may have information on the management.
In early 2012 the newly-formed Tameside Heritage and Arts Trust approached the Council with proposals to re-open the theatre as a full receiving theatre with film and digital video capability. The Council accepted the proposals in principle and work is in hand to re-open in 2013.
