Why, you may ask, would anyone want to do that? Well they were by Banksy. The pieces were Banksy rats, one had 'go back to Bristol boy' scrawled on it, probably done by the few people who object his work. All that remains now are two badly cemented squares on the white wall. I'm quite sad as I was getting quite attached to them as I passed them on my daily stroll to get my lunch.
Just recently a Banksy piece done on Portobello Rd was sold on ebay for £208,100. The price included the removal and rebuilding of the wall that it was painted on, I don't know whether Banksy would approve of that. I wonder how much those two rats will fetch in auction....
