Overview

Do you have what it takes to join a Birmingham Slogging gang? If so we are looking for new recruits so come and join our guide, Edward Shelby, a member of the slogging gangs. He will show you the city and teach you the ways of the gangs and how the reality differs from their portrayal in popular culture.. This tour will be centred around the historical and cultural aspects of the Birmingham slogging gangs. You learn about how the gangs terrorised Birmingham in the late 19th and early 20th century. This tour will explore gang members such as Billy Kimber, Alfie Solomon and the Italian Mob. This two-hour tour begins and ends at Aston University, with parking available and goes deep into historical gang territories. The tour will have two stops at local pubs where guests are welcome to buy a drink whilst hearing more about the Birmingham gangs of the last two centuries.
