The postcard view confirms the entrance to the Castle was the white frontage to the left of the Boots store.

The Castle was badly damaged by fire on 18 November 1971 and was probably demolished. One source says it belonged to a Mr Hobson and waslater run by Supreme Cinemas.

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.
