The Astoria eventually closed its doors as a cinema on 29 July 1972.
It was then converted into the Sundown Centre rock venue in September 1972, but was not a success and the Sundown closed down some four months later.
In May 1974 planning permission was sought to demolish the Grade II listed building and replace it with a motor showroom and petrol station.
However the redevelopment scheme was scrapped.
The building was kept heated after it closed, and was used as an equipment store by the Rank Organisation.
