This selection and balance of items has given Astra a world-wide customer base and connections making it a must stop for trade buyers, interior designers and props shops alike. Although Astra Antiques started in 1990 on the site of Old RAF Hemswell, the true History of the Building comes from its Royal Airforce roots. (See our History of Old RAF Hemswell)
