While travelling to London and the Mute Short Circuit Festival, I took the oppertunity to visit All Hallows Church in southeast London – Pepper Street 1 to be exact. As You all know this was where the famous Blackwing Studios was located from the end of the 1970′s to 2001. The studios were owned by one Eric C. Radcliffe and both Yazoo-albums were recorded within these walls. See more pictures after the jump …
All Hallows Church was also the home of Vince Clarkes Splendid Studios as well as Reset Records. You can read all about Blackwing Studios, the equipment in the studio and All Hallows Church at Wikipedia.
Enjoy the photos …
Great pictures, thanks for posting, but do you know what building works are going on? Is it still empty or has it been bought to be turned into accommodation?
Hey Lee. Actually the building is still empty. According to the linked Wiki-page, the church may soon be demolished, though the locals oppose it.
Thanks for the reply – hopefully it will get a stay of execution for a while longer, going to make a pilgrimage to it before it’s too late in that case!
