Trinity Mirror's Midlands HQ
Fort Dunlop in north Birmingham, with the newspaper offices on the sixth floor. Birmingham Post editor Marc Reeves said: 'It's a fantastic, fresh environment – windows all round, an open-plan, no-secrets environment with a central hub making all editorial decisions in the open ... [Now] the papers have been produced, printed and are on sale. There are plenty of improvements to come, reviews to hold and tweaks to make, but Fort Dunlop has begun' Photograph: Trinity Mirror

Birmingham Mail editor Steve Dyson at his desk, briefing reporter Ed Stephens. Dyson said of the move to Fort Dunlop: 'Friday saw us producing the Mail, Post and Mercury from Printing House Street and packing our "bags" to move. On Saturday and Sunday the removal firm sprang into action and by 12 noon Sunday ... the whole editorial floor was ready for us to continue as if nothing had happened! The result? The Post came out on Monday morning, followed by the Mail, without a major hitch' Photograph: Trinity Mirror
