The last couple of weeks here have been a bit busy as we’ve just moved in to a brand new (yet very old) studio. We’re now based above the Vaults in Newhall Place. Aside from driving the van we hired in to a pillar, the office move has been a great success! We now have lots more studio space for our growing team, a nice new meeting room and best of all the building we’re in is much cooler. Here’s a bit of blurb I dug up about it’s history…

“Newhall Place was built about 1860 and designed by H.R. Yeoville Thomason, who was also responsible for many of Birmingham’s finest buildings. He designed the Council House and much of Colmore Row. The building was first occupied by a firm of merchants, Shaw Hawkes & Co, but by 1871 No. 16 had become the premises of Phipps Pickering and Richard, Brewers. By the 1880s it had become part of the Newhall Wire Works in nearby George Street and is now a Grade II Listed building.”

And here’s a few pics now we’re moved in. (more to follow once we’ve properly decorated – we’re planning a few illustrations for the walls).
