context_page_description: The Old Vinyl Factory is a complex of buildings formerly owned by the British music company EMI in Hayes, within the London Borough of Hillingdon. The site was originally purchased by the Gramophone and Typewriter Company and the buildings were designed by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners in the early 20th century.
  While used by EMI, the site was responsible for the production of many well-known vinyl records by popular musicians of the 20th century, as well as radios and other broadcasting equipment.
  In April 2011 the site was purchased for redevelopment by a joint venture of Cathedral Group PLC and Development Securities plc. Under plans for £250 million of works, the site, covering 17 acres, is to include commercial and residential units and a university technical college.
