Your mystery begins…the bottom of the steps of Victoria Square

Clues 1 - 10: Who was smuggling on the canals?

In the first half of your adventure, you'll discover Chamberlain Square, the Birmingham & Midland Institute and Main Line Canal. The city has a one-hundred-mile canal system which was once an attractive prospect for gangsters who used the waterways to supply London's black market. 

Take a Break!

A perfect pitstop is the Old Contemptibles, a pub named after a First World War unit who were labelled a ‘contemptible little army’ by Kaiser Wilhelm. 

Clues 11-16: Where did the wealthy shop?

In the second part of your adventure, you'll discover St Philip's Cathedral, Temple Row and Piccadilly Arcade. In this area you'll find an array of upmarket shops that for years catered to the city's wealthy families. One such store, was Cadbury's, which began life on a street not too far from here!
