Black Country Living Museum & Peaky Blinders Filming Location | Black Country | England
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!

We rewatched the first Peaky Blinders and was amazed how much we recognized after being here. It's amazing to see how authentic it looks in person, then in the show. It was a fantastic museum. Thank you for watching.

@@TravelswithVandSteve It's funny I do that a lot too. I come across a lot of filming locations in New Mexico. Like Longmire and young guns. You'd be surprised how much is filmed in New Mexico
We are there today during lovely Summer weather. Reminds us very much of our childhoods in Birmingham in the early 1950's onwards.

You got some beautiful weather to be there! I can't believe how hot June has been. It really is done well, my mother in law said the same about reminding her of her childhood. Sounds like you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Love the vlog and yes I love P Blinders too

We could see why they used it for filming - it's the perfect time frame for Peaky Blinders. The whole museum is great and seeing the filming location just made it even better. We'd love to go to a Peaky Blinders night! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful grounds! Reminded me a bit of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. Beautiful tour my friend ❤

I've wanted to see Colonial Williamsburg since I was a teenager! I absolutely love these types of museums, they are like stepping back in time. Thank you so much for watching!
We love living museums like this. Thanks for showing us around the massive 26 acre grounds of this museum. We have never seen Peaky Blinders but Jack just mentioned it a couple days ago as we were discussing shows we would like to stream as we are almost done with the ones we have been streaming lately. That was the first I heard of the show. So we will start it soon and be on the lookout for these filming locations. I would love to see the 40s, 50s and 60s area once complete. Thanks for introducing us to the Black Country Living Museum!

We were both so impressed with this museum, there was just SO much to do and see! I didn't realize how big it would be. I haven't watched much of Peaky Blinders so I need to watch more (If you have trouble with the accents, put on the captions!) but it was so cool to see a filming location. I am in love with open air museums and places that preserve the buildings, it's like taking a walk in the past. Let me know what you think of Peaky Blinders! Thanks so much for watching!
What an incredible place! So much to see and do, love the history behind the industrial revolution, this is totally up my street! Thank you for sharing, looks like you had a great day out, love Peaky Blinders too!!

@@shropshirelass264 I will keep these in mind for next time. We hoped to do Dudley Zoo and Castle (and stayed right beside it, we could hear the animals in the morning) but ran out of time. I will write these down!
