Abbey Road could be saved by National Trust
The iconic Abbey Road studios, where the Beatles recorded, could be saved by the National Trust. The organisation has announced it will look at the possibility of buying the studios from cash-strapped EMI which is looking to offload the London landmark.
It's thought the famous studios - which gave the name to a Beatles 1969 album - could sell for between £10-30 million and even be turned into flats.
But now the National Trust say they could look at making an offer on the historic building, because of the level of public support they have seen.
The campaign to save the studios has received the backing of former Beatle Paul McCartney... who could probably have paid for it with the interest his has earned in the time it took you to read this.
"It's not often that the public spontaneously suggests that we should acquire a famous building," said a National Trust spokesman.
"However, Abbey Road recording studios appear to be very dear to the nation’s heart - to the extent that we will take soundings as to whether a campaign is desirable or even feasible."
