economic hardship in england led to a violent youth subculture. poor youths frequently robbed and pickpocketed men walking on the streets of slum birmingham. these efforts were executed through assaults, beatings, stabbings, and manual strangulation. during the 1890s, youth street gangs consisted of men between the ages of twelve and thirty. the late 1890s saw the organisation of these men into a soft hierarchy. the most powerful member of the peaky blinders was known as kevin mooney. his real name was thomas gilbert; however, he routinely changed his last name. many of the land grabs undertaken by the gang were initiated by him. the most violent of these youth street gangs organised themselves as a singular group known as the "peaky blinders". they were likely founded in small heath, possibly by a man named thomas mucklow, as this newspaper article, entitled "a murderous outrage at small heath, a man's skull fractured.", suggests, printed in the monday, march 24th, 1890 edition of "the birmingham mail". this newspaper is possibly the earliest evidence of the peaky blinders put to paper:
