Peaky Blinders mural supports Birmingham Children's Hospital
- Published

Artist Jon Jones has previously worked with the West Midlands Police Museum to explore the criminal underworld of 19th Century Birmingham
The final episode of Peaky Blinders may have played out on BBC One on Sunday evening - but stars of the crime drama remain centre stage in Birmingham.
A 50-metre mural of the Peaky Blinders is on Hill Street, close to New Street Station, and is raising money for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity.
Birmingham-born artist Jon Jones created the images, and the installation was arranged by Central BID Birmingham.
The Castle Fine Art gallery group will donate £1 every time a photo of the art installation is posted on social media.
People have been asked to tag @castlegalleries and add the hashtag #Brum4BCH.

Helen Miles, from Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, said: "Jon's portrayal of Birmingham's infamous gangsters is visually stunning"

Visitors to the mural are being encouraged to snap, tag, post and donate
Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight, said: "I am incredibly proud and honoured that Peaky Blinders has been woven into the tapestry of our great city in such a vivid and brilliant way.
"I hope people will come from far and wide to take their photos and help such a deserving Birmingham cause.
"From now on in Brum, every blank wall should be seen as an opportunity for art."

The project to transform the wall was led by Central BID Birmingham, the business improvement district for the city centre

Castle Fine Art was founded in the West Midlands 25 years ago and has nearly 40 galleries across the UK
Mr Jones said: "I have had some amazing moments as an artist, but to have my work exhibited on the streets of Birmingham, where it will be seen by so many people, leaves me speechless.
"It also fills me with immense pride that it will raise money for the Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, an institution that helps and supports so many families in our city."
