The aunt who held it together · Shelby Family
Polly Gray (The aunt who held it together) is a character in Peaky Blinders, part of Shelby Family. Polly Gray ran the Peaky Blinders' books and business for five years while her nephews were in France, and surrendering the ledger back to the men is not the same as surrendering authority.

She lost two children to the parish years ago; that wound steers more than she admits.
