Built in 1795, this three-story structure was originally a workhouse for the poor, infirm and orphaned. In 1870, it was converted to a private residence and renamed Headley Grange.
Led Zeppelin composed and recorded many tracks on the albums Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti at this location.
Robert Plant wrote the lyrics for "Stairway to Heaven" in one day at Headley Grange. The song "Black Dog" was named after a black Labrador Retriever that was hanging around the building at the time.
The drum track to "When the Levee Breaks" was recorded in the stairwell of the facility.
