Countdown is on to opening of new Peaky Blinders bar in Doncaster
The countdown is on to the opening of a new Doncaster pub paying tribute to hit television series Peaky Blinders.
The Shelby 1903 is from the same people who opened Irish bar The Temple in the Market Place last year and will sit alongside the existing bar, paying homage to The Garrison, the fictional bar from the Birmingham set historic crime drama which features the notorious Shelby family.
The new bar will replace the former Marketplace Ale House, describing the new bar as “a new little sister” to The Temple.
Work to transform the bar is well under way and it is expected to open in the coming weeks.
A spokesperson said: "Think the famous Garrison, exclusivity, speakeasy dark premium vibes. Our new venue will catapult you back to the peaky era providing the most premium serves in the city.
“Renovations are currently underway. Follow along for the journey, it’s going to be special.”
The Temple, which opened its doors last year in time for St Patrick’s Day, was created from the former Magdalen pub alongside the Wool Market.
The same people were also responsible for Hall Gate Irish bar O’Donegans and country and western themed bar Saddle and Shot.
Peaky Blinders has been one of Britain’s best loved TV shows of recent years.
It follows the exploits of the Peaky Blinders crime gang in the direct aftermath of the First World War, with the fictional gang loosely based on a real urban youth gang active in Birmingham from the 1880s to the 1920s.
