Much of Earl Grey Street in Tollcross, Edinburgh, was demolished in the early 1970s to allow for road widening. Today Uberior House dominates.
Footnote: “A Scottish label, based in Edinburgh and initially an offshoot of furniture retailers Geo. Jeffrey Ltd. The man behind Waverley was Thomas Bryce Laing, who had risen through the ranks to become managing director at Jeffrey’s after the war (‘The Scotsman’; 14th September 2005). He persuaded the company to add a record department to their furniture store; then in 1959 at his instigation it added a two-track recording studio, which occupied a back room at the store, and a record label – Waverley – to issue the material that was recorded there. When the building was listed for demolition the record shop and studio were relocated. The studio moved again; by September 1962 it was located at 68 Craighall Road and had become the much-improved Craighall Recording Studios” [Source]
