Queen Breaca's photos with the keyword: Banksy

Sadly defaced by somebody who calls himself "Wonky" (I wonder whether he should rather spell his name with an "a".)

This is said to be a genuine Banksy, somewhere along the River Lym in Lyme Regis, Dorset. The writing on the wall was added later, presumably by local people. It reads, "Graffiti lives and dies free!! Demand your tour is refunded if you've paid!" and is probably directed at literarylyme.co.uk who offer a 30mins "Banksy Crane" walk at three pounds fifty (see link: www.literarylyme.co.uk/banksylymeregistour.html ) to a location that you can easily find yourself if you walk up Coombe Street or down Sherborne Lane or along the river behind the Town Mill.

That's what the Whitehouse Pub on the corner of Duke Street and Berry Street in Liverpool's Chinatown looked like in 2009. I've heard the Listed Building has been sold in the meantime, and there was some talk that the Banksy would be restored by the new owners but it seems all that was just a lot of hot air and the masterpiece is now lost forever.
