A new look for the iconic Peaky Blinders mural is now live on Hill Street, near Birmingham New Street station in celebration of the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man film released last month on Netflix.
The 50-meter installation by artist Jon Jones, depicts scenes from the new film featuring the iconic Tommy Shelby alongside memorable moments and characters from the wider Peaky Blinders series. Born and raised in Birmingham, Jon Jones has collaborated with the West Midlands Police Museum to explore the city’s 19th-century criminal underworld.
Drawing on archival materials, including police records and historic mugshots, he blends fact and fiction to create evocative, atmospheric works. His haunting paintings examine the legacy of the infamous Peaky Blinders, capturing both the myth, and reality of the era.
He says: “Updating this mural for such an important moment in the Peaky Blinders story is a real honour.
“As a proud Brummie, it means a great deal to see the work evolve in the city and continue to connect with people passing through every day.” Ian Weatherby-Blythe, Group Managing Director at Castle Fine Art, said: “This update marks an exciting new chapter for an already iconic installation.
“We are proud to work alongside Netflix and our partners to refresh the mural and celebrate Birmingham’s ongoing connection to a globally recognised story.” The installation has been delivered in partnership with Central BID Birmingham and Network Rail, reinforcing the city centre as a cultural destination while celebrating its creative heritage.
Central BID Manager Steve Hewett explains: “We proudly installed images on the Peaky Blinders wall on Hill Street in 2022 prior to the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, to celebrate the positive global impact Peaky Blinders has had for the city across the world.
“It has become a popular destination for visitors to capture iconic Peaky Blinder selfies. This refresh of stunning Jon Jones art honours Cillian Murphy and his wonderful portrayal of Tommy Shelby and we are extremely grateful to Steven Knight, Netflix and all of the partners involved for allowing this to happen.”
‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ film is now streaming on Netflix and the mural is on view at Hill Street, Birmingham.
