Continuity mistake: The camera cuts between a wide shot and a close-up of Pol and Inspector Chester Campbell undressing her. Between scenes for the next minute, Pol's shirt is on in the close-ups but taken off in the wide shots. (00:24:40)
Factual error: Michael's impending 18th birthday is often mentioned as the time he becomes an adult and can make his own decisions. The age of majority in 1922 (and until 1970) was 21.
Grace Burgess: You think I am a whore?
Tommy Shelby: Everyone's a whore, Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.

Answer: There has never been prohibition in England. There are many reasons for running an underground distillery. It would be a way to avoid things like government regulations, safe distilling methods, alcohol content limits, taxation, fix pricing, and so on.
