General info :
Strawberry Studios was a recording studio in Stockport, England.
The facility was originally called Inner City Studios and located above a music store in the town centre.
In early 1968 it was bought by Peter Tattersall, a former road manager for Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas.
Tattersall invited Eric Stewart – then lead guitarist and singer of The Mindbenders and later a member of 10cc – to join him as a partner in July 1968.
The pair moved to larger premises at No.3 Waterloo Road in October, with Stewart choosing the studio's new name in honour of his favourite Beatles song, "Strawberry Fields Forever".
Within months songwriter and future 10cc member Graham Gouldman joined the pair as an investor. The studio was used by major artists including Joy Division, Neil Sedaka, Barclay James Harvest, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Paul McCartney and St Winifred's School Choir.
10cc sold their interest in the Stockport studio in the 1980s, but returned to record Windows in the Jungle in 1983.
In 1986, the neighbouring Yellow Two recording studio took over the running of Strawberry in Stockport. It ceased operation as a music studio in the early 1990s and was converted for use for film and video production.
