Back of Rackhams

Rackhams was a large Department store located in the English city of Birmingham. The Alley way at the rear of Rackhams was a notorious 'Red Light' area and synonymous with prostitution.

The store was taken over by 'House of Fraiser' in 2003, but the saying persists with the old name
