| NEW HOME: The cast of Peaky Blinders series 3 |
HAS the poster boy of BBC drama Peaky Blinders upped sticks and moved to what is now North Solihull?
The screenwriter, Steven Knight, certainly seems to hint as much in an interview to coincide with the première of the third series.
In the opening episode, leading character Thomas Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy) has left behind inner-city Birmingham and moved to Arrow House - a sprawling mansion in the country.
"It’s probably near where Chelmsley Wood council estate is now," said Steven, when discussing the location of the opulent estate.
It's well-known of course that the area was open countryside until the second half of the 20th century, with building work beginning in earnest during the 1960s.
Peaky Blinders, which follows a family's efforts to build a criminal empire during the 1920s, has proved a massive hit internationally.
Famous fans of the series include football manager Jose Mourinho, the rapper Snoop Dogg and Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
