Peaky Blinders themed pub set to open its doors in Doncaster
A pub paying tribute to hit television series Peaky Blinders is coming to Doncaster.
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.
Announcing the news on social media, a spokesperson said: “That’s right, we are expanding!
“We are delighted to announce the acquisition of the old Marketplace Ale House on Friday last week. The Temple has a new little sister!
“Introducing you to The Shelby 1903.
“Our new venue takes homage to the famous Peaky Blinders.
"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.
The series featured an ensemble cast led by Cillian Murphy, starring as Tommy Shelby, Helen McCrory as Elizabeth "Polly" Gray, Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby, Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, and Joe Cole as John Shelby, the group's senior members.
