Make your way round this Victorian lock-up in the heart of Birmingham. Built in 1891, it was used as a police cell block until 2016.

Today the building houses displays and hands-on activities. Discover the true story of Birmingham’s notorious as-seen-on-TV gang, the Peaky Blinders. 

Find out about the police officers who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and while in service.

Dress up in police uniforms, step inside a police box and see police motorcycles.
