Photographer McCartney said: “Some of my earliest memories as a young child come from time spent at Abbey Road.

“I’ve long wanted to tell the story of this historic place.”

Isabel Garvey, the recording studios’ managing director, said: “‘If these walls could sing’ – I have lost count how many times I’ve heard that said at Abbey Road Studios over the years.

“I can’t wait for some of these stories to finally come to life in what will become a timeless documentary.”

Abbey Road Studios in London has been a recording studio since Sir Edward Elgar conducted a performance there in 1931, and has since welcomed the likes of Kanye West and Adele.

The documentary will feature an “all-star cast of interviews, unparalleled access to the studios and a spellbinding soundtrack”, its makers said.
