Torquay Herald Express
It serves a wide surrounding area of coastal and inland communities in South Devon, which attracts millions of tourists each year to swell its 100,000-plus resident population.The Herald Express was born out of the rivalry between two evening papers, each of which produced local editions for Torbay—an area which includes Torquay, Paignton and Brixham—and first appeared in its own right as a title on Monday, 13 July 1925, when the two decided to amalgamate.It has had the distinction of being based in Fleet Street, for the front entrance and office of the Braddons Hill works was nearby in Torquay's main shopping thoroughfare.However, in 1991 it became a new and independent operating company in its own right within Northcliffe as Herald Express Publications Ltd. During its lifetime, it has had nine editors, including the present incumbent, Jim Parker.The head office in Barton Hill Road retained its existing editorial, advertising and newspaper sales departments, but from then on the paper was to be printed at the Western Morning News building in Plymouth.
