Peaky Blinders: The Real Story. Join Carl Chinn in conversation with Writer in Residence for Kirklees, Chris Longden.
Well-known social historian Carl Chinn shines a light on the rarely reported struggles of the working class in his gripping social history book. Like the Shelbys, Carl’s grandfather was an illegal bookmaker in the back streets of Birmingham in the 1920’s. Carl will talk about the 'real' Peaky Blinders, the Netflix series, his research, writing books and why hidden working class history is so important in understanding present-day issues.
Carl will be chatting with our Writer in Residence for Kirklees, Chris Longden. Chris was a student of Carl's in the 1990s, so this will be a fascinating trip 'down Memory Lane' in more ways than one!
6.30pm Thurs 11 Feb - watch via Kirklees Libraries Facebook page and YouTube channel (and 'Watch Again' at either of these if you miss it)
