approximately £70,000 (£ in 2019). Post-Hammer era (1970–2014) Following their purchase, the premises were renamed the Bray International Film Centre and a fifth sound stage was constructed. Production continued at Bray, including special effects for series such as Doctor Who and Space 1999. In 1984, Redspring sold the complex to the Samuelson Group for £700,000 (£ in 2019). Samuelson provided the complex with a £2,000,000 (£ in 2019) investment before selling the site to a property development company who planned to demolish the sound stages and convert Down Place into office buildings. In 1991, television producer Neville Hendricks bought the complex and allowed film production to continue. At this time, the soundstages at Bray were used as a rehearsal facility for large musical events and touring acts, including, Led Zeppelin in July 1979, in preparation for their two shows at the Knebworth Festival in August of 1979, the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert and on numerous occasions by Pink Floyd and Roger Waters. Sale (2014–2019) In 2014, Hendricks announce his intention to sell the site, explaining that it was not economically viable citing competition from the studios at Pinewood and Shepperton, as well as Bray's location in a green belt. He sold the complex to a property development company who submitted a planning application in 2015 for luxury apartments and demolition of the sound stage buildings; demolition of buildings at Bray began in 2017. Reopening (2019–) Filming resumed at Bray in 2019 with all three episodes of the BBC's Dracula having scenes filmed at the complex. In June 2020, Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council approved plans to expand the complex with new studios and workshops.
