Cosford Mill Studios
Surrey, England

Following the death of Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and Brian May focused primarily on their solo careers throughout the 1990s. During this time, Roger Taylor built a studio on his property in Surrey.

Two of Roger's albums were recorded at the location, Happiness and Electric Fire. Parts of Queen's Made In Heaven were also worked on there.
