Description

Long before the hit TV series turned them into legends, the real Peaky Blinders ruled the backstreets of Birmingham. With swagger in their step, and blood on their hands — they were the original urban gangsters of Britain’s industrial age.

In Blood Ties: The Real Peaky Blinders, we uncover the brutal truth behind the myth — the poverty, the power, and the violence that shaped a generation of men who became symbols of rebellion. We separate fact from fiction to reveal how a local street gang became an enduring piece of British folklore.
