We visited The Black Country Living Museum which is also a filming location for the television program Peaky Blinders. Located in Dudley, just outside Birmingham and in the heart of the industrial Black Country, the museum houses over 40 rebuilt historical houses, shops, workshops and other buildings to bring to life a village during the Industrial Revolution. There is a Fish and Chip Shop, Sweet shop, Bakery and Pub along with a vintage cinema, schoolhouse, church and a boat yard with a canal. The boat yard is a favourite filming place for Peaky Blinders and has been used for every season of the hit show. The museum even hosts Peaky Blinders nights.
From the website - Black Country Living Museum is an award-winning open air museum that tells the story of one of the very first industrialised landscapes in Britain.
Set across 26 acres, you’ll explore carefully reconstructed shops, houses and industrial areas that represent the Black Country’s story. You’ll learn how steam power, human ingenuity and an increasingly interconnected world transformed this region into a manufacturing powerhouse.
You’ll meet our historic characters who’ll tell you stories of what it was really like to live and work during this revolutionary period of history. Most importantly, you’ll see history brought to life before your eyes - hear the clang of hammers, smell the smoke billowing from red brick chimneys and maybe even taste the best fish and chips in the Black Country!
