I think The Astor was always in Georges Street – it opened in the late 1930s there’s a picture of it (which looks like it comes from shortly after it closed in the early 80s?) here https://www.facebook.com/AnnStreetMemories/photos/a.198441940365036.1073741875.105656169643614/125654814310416/?type=3&theater

The site of the Astor is now a Chinese restaurant – though it was a cinema again briefly in the mid/late 90s

This picture might have been the site of the Castle Cinema – before my time – The Square/Market Square are synonyms.
