Mary McCartney, daughter of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, wants to make a documentary about the famous Abbey Road studios.

"If These Walls Could Sing" is the first feature-length documentary about the place where the "Fab Four" recorded most of their songs, the operators said.

The recording studio celebrates its 90th anniversary in November.

The name also became famous through the Beatles album of the same name from 1969, which shows the four musicians crossing a zebra crossing on Abbey Road.

"Some of my first memories are from the time I spent on Abbey Road," said Mary McCartney.

"I've wanted to tell the story of this historic place for a long time."

The Abbey Road studio has been used for music recordings since 1931, when the composer Edward Elgar ("Pomp and Circumstance Marches") directed a performance there.

Current music stars such as Kanye West and Adele have also used the studio.

The building is now a listed building.
