Banksy at the Grosvenor
Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 28 Nov 2010
Considered to be the work of the great man, this graffiti, of a boy drawing a robot around an extractor fan, appeared on the wall of the Grosvenor Hotel on Belgrave Road in October 2010 and has been protected with perspex. The CCTV camera and the soldier (whose speech bubble asks "wanna be a big man in a little town?", apparently quoting from the film "Hot Fuzz") have appeared more recently and are not thought to be Banksy's work http://creativetorbay.com/knowledge-hub/news/?id=13199&view=list .
