The Aston Royal Mail Delivery Office is the main sorting office for the Royal Mail in Birmingham.

The purpose-built, quarter of million square foot sorting office required the closure of four roads and relocation of services, the diversion of a road, a brook and a public sewer together with negotiations with a variety of landowners. The process of closing roads and rationalization had to be completed at speed and involved a radical approach to urban regeneration. It was designed by PCPT Architects, and completed in 1998. It won the Bespoke Industrial/Warehouse Category of the 1998 Development of the Year Awards run by the Business and Industrial Agents Society.

The Royal Mail premises comprise a footprint of 25,000 sqm with offices, canteen, circulation and social areas totaling 5,000 sq m on two floors to the west and south elevation. The east and north elevations are serviced areas which deal with the delivery and distribution of mail from and across the West Midlands. The main hall is 138.6 x 108.6m and houses 8 integrated mail processors 37m x 5m and 10 sorting machines which can each deal with up to 30,000 letters per hour.
