The history of this cinema is described in Memories of Buckinghamshire’s picture places by Martin Tapsell (Mercia Cinema Society, 1983)
Built in 1925, the Astra is a brick structure with a balcony. Seating around 589 the balcony was initially for officers only. It was run by Services Kinema Corporation and from 1982 by SSVC, whose website lists current programming.
From Facebook it appears SSVC removed the equipment from the Astra in Sept 2018 and the cinema has now been re-opened at time of writing (Aug, 2019)
