The Astra Theatre was originally the Prince of Wales Theatre and owned by the Akhurst family.

I attended the Astra Theatre Thornleigh in the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s. The entrance was on Pennant Hills Road, closer to the corner was the theatre shop, which could be accessed from the theatre and Pennant Hills Road. The ticket office was on the right side going in and the stairs leading to upstairs were on the left (north side). The floor in the entrance was a red colour. There was carpet upstairs

Hello,

My frontal exterior pic of the ASTRA Theatre THORNLEIGH – taken in the sixties/seventies – was published with my permission, in KINO, the magazine of the Australian Cinema and Theatre Society during 2013 – page 6 of the SPRING, 2013 publication, Issue Number 125.

The original is an Ektachrome 127 color transparency cardboard mounted slide.

Cheers,

Eric GLASBY ()

Very interested in getting photo/photos of ASTRA THEATRE Thornleigh around the 1960’s-1970’s if anyone has one. Cheers, Dizi4u : )

Our thanks to Professor Ross Thorne for his comments but above all for his passion towards saving theatres as an important part of our architectural and cultural heritage.
