In the backdrop of Victorian cityscape lay an enigmatic tale of an urban street gang known as the Peaky Blinders. The story is rooted in Birmingham, in the heart of England, around the end of the 19th century. The Peaky Blinders, a term Victorian society ascribed to various urban youth gangs, were notorious for their unlawful activities and became a symbol of rebellion, with their criminal exploits known throughout the country. The name ‘Peaky Blinders’ is said to come from the notion that gang members sewed razor blades into the peaks of their flat caps, which could then be used as weapons, however, this is commonly considered a myth as razors blades were neither cheap nor readily available at the time. A more likely explanation is that ‘Peaky’ referred to the gang’s fashion of wearing peaked caps, while ‘Blinders’ referred to their well-groomed appearance. They initially rose in ranks as a criminal organization devoted to gambling, and robbery, expanding later into more serious crimes as their influence grew. The gang ruled the streets, their presence was perceived with fear and respect in equal measure. They wore tailored suits, silk scarves and their signature peaked caps, adding to their imposing aura. The Peaky Blinders were not merely figures of local folklore but were also partly responsible for initiating reform in the societal structure of Victorian Birmingham, prompting significant changes in societal law and order due to their disregard for the existing legalities.
