EMI Music Archive, Hayes

View across the Grand Union Canal of EMI Records' worldwide music archive. This purpose built facility was constructed in the 1990s alongside EMI's Central Research Laboratories (CRL) which was built ten years earlier. The CRL building has now been demolished but the Archive building remains. The Archive houses pretty much the entire output of EMI. The one notable exception is the master tapes of The Beatles recordings. They are housed at Abbey Road studios in London.
