This February 2022 you’ll be able to watch the finale season of Peaky Blinders on BBC, until today, we don’t know when it’s going to be available on Netflix, but in the Instagram account of the series they’ve been publishing some interactive content for the fans.
An image that caused so much emotion around the netizens was a photo that Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby) posted on Instagram with Cillian Murphy (Tommy Shelby) with the description “This is the first-ever image of Tommy and Arthur. We picked these guns up for the first time 10 years ago, and next month we put them down for the last time! Coming soon… PEAKY BLINDERS SEASON 6…” this post just increased the emotion of the fans.
But did you know that they existed in real life? Even though the real ones weren’t as ambitious as the Shelby’s from the series, they were a gang from Birmingham involved in gambling and robberies. Steven Knight inspired them because his father’s uncles, the Sheldon, were involved in gambling that were part of the Peaky Blinders.
The real Peaky Blinders
The real Peaky Boys date back to the 1890s, not from the 1920s. Most of them were young men and they even had 12-year-old members; they were purely a street gang with no political ambitions but take the issue of violence further that the series shows you.
They dominated the Birmingham streets for decades, until 1910 when the Birmingham Boys took their place, as well as the harshening of law enforcement, led to the imprisonment of many of the gang’s members. The rise of the popularity of boxing academies, as well as schools, was another cause of their disappearance.
In 1920, the rest of the Peaky Blinders were established outside the city and disappeared when the Sabinis claimed all their territory in Birmingham. Nowadays ‘Peaky Blinders’ is a common slang and is used to refer to all the street gangs of Birmingham.
Real Members
While on the screen, Thomas Shelby is the leader and the main character, the real leader of the Peaky Blinders in fact was Billy Kimber, a dangerous gangster that passed away at the age of 63. In the series, he appears as the enemy of Shelby that wants to control the horse races. Even though the name of the series and the gang is ‘Peaky Blinders’, the period of time when this happens on the series is the period when the ‘Birmingham Boys’ were dominating the territory.

Here you can find the mugshots of some peaky boys, who sowed terror around the town in that time when the press talked about windows of private houses destroyed, confrontations against the police and fights between gangs.
Keep an eye on the upcoming season of ‘Peaky Blinders’ when we’ll finally meet the end of the politician career of Tommy Shelby, the sad ending that Polly and Abarama will have, cause last year we lost Polly actress, Helena McCrory.
