Tommy Shelby might be a West Midlands gangster, but most of the series is   shot in the north of England! \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Black Country   Living Museum, Dudley, is open all year round to the public. It’s the perfect   place for the Shelbys to stash illicit goods, situated as it is on a working   canal. And as the museum is decked out in period guise to display the West   Midlands’ industrial heritage, it’s ready for a TV production company to roll   up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther north,   Manchester’s impressive 1877 town hall is used when Sam Neill’s character   meets Churchill, while the city’s Grade II–listed Edwardian swimming pool,   the Victoria Baths, was mocked up for a horse fair. Before the Luftwaffe   visited in World War II, there were many streets like Admiral Grove and Powis   Street in Liverpool 8. Ringo Starr grew up there, and it doubles for the   Shelbys’ home street in Birmingham’s Small Heath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat the Wirral is to   Liverpool, Sutton Coldfield is to Small Heath—the gentrified suburbs. Aunt   Polly’s Sutton Coldfield House is filmed in Port Sunlight, a model industrial   village on the Wirral that has been preserved thanks to its single ownership   and strict leaseholds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many   station scenes in \u003ci\u003ePeaky Blinders\u003c\/i\u003e, especially the gripping   finale to the first series, when the devious Inspector Campbell confronts   Grace. As the scene fades, a shot rings out… You can retrace   their steps at the Keighley \u0026amp; Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire, which   once served mills and villages in the Worth Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther sites include Brooke’s Mill, at Armitage near Huddersfield (playing a gypsy camp), Leeds’ Town Hall (an art gallery), Newby Hall \u0026amp; Gardens, Ripon (Grace’s undercover meeting location), Arley Hall, Cheshire (Tommy’s country house), and City Varieties, Leeds (a vaudeville theater). Coming soon in series six, the harbor at Portsoy in Aberdeenshire will be standing in for a French port. No doubt smuggling will be involved. ","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306090332448,"sku":"9781841659435","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781841659435.jpg?v=1772769691","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/peaky-blinders-location-guide","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
