In this video, join me as I uncover the hidden secrets of the infamous Steelhouse Lane Lock Up in Birmingham, UK. Hidden in plain sight this lock up has over 100 years of history and is also the place where the Peaky Blinders (and my Great Grandfather) were locked up and photographed. From petty drunks to murderers, male and female inmates, the halls of this place echo with the stories of the people who have passed through and I found it a profound and moving experience. Only closed in 2016, it was left as it was when it was closed, and I think is as close as you can get to walking around a Victorian prison & lock up complex in the UK without actually being an inmate or a guard.
Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for weekly explorations and uncovering of hidden gems like this. I never know where I will go from week to week but it's always somewhere I find interesting and I hope you do too.
The Lock up at West Midlands Police Museum is open to the public Wednesday - Saturdays and is run by volunteers, many of whom are retired from The Service. The entrance fee at time of publication is £10 - this is a donation used to keep the museum open. Tickets can be booked in advance on the website : museum.west-midlands.police.uk - please note it is occasionally closed for functions, school groups or group bookings so check before you go, these dates were clearly listed.
As always this video was filmed, edited and scripted by me, all opinions are my own, research was done on my own little laptop and I paid for my entrance.
