A Victorian jailhouse where the the real life Peaky Blinders gang were once locked up is being opened to the public.

Fans of the the Bafta award-winning BBC series can now get a look inside the eerie Steelhouse Lane Lock-up in Birmingham which operated from 1891 to 2016.

The Grade-II listed 19th century jail housed the original members of the Peaky Blinders
who inspired the gritty crime drama written by Stephen Knight.

The mug shots of Harry Fowler, Ernest Bayles, Stephen McHickie and Thomas Gilbert - adorn the walls of the 128-year-old prison wearing their trademark flat caps.

This video was filmed 25th November 2019.
