Fascinating stories about some of Birmingham’s most notorious criminals - including the real Peaky Blinders - will come to life when the new West Midlands Police Museum opens its doors this month. 

Visitors to the museum, which is housed at the former Lock-Up at Steelhouse Lane, will experience a journey spanning over 200 years of policing history. 

The museum will open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm. It also has a gift shop, where you can purchase your very own ‘Lock-Up Mouse’ along with police-themed goodies and history books.
