I saw these new creations have mysteriously popped up. Very clever.

I love the boat one. I hope they are left there to be admired.

Missed this. Love the seagull over the skip. Someone must see these being done?

The Banksy phenomena is truly that - a phenomena !!!! How on earth does he spend the best part of the night drawing these, without a soul seeing him !,!!!!!!!

CrazyH, I was just about to take my courage in my hands and ask the very same question. He/she has been going so long and does such elaborate stuff that I cannot comprehend how the anonanimity has been managed. Am I missing something obvious?

Banksy is truly brilliant

I am a great fan of Banksy. The problem is, they are for the people but in many cases they disappear because somebody with money has bought the wall they are on and the next time we see them is in an auction room

If they do get sold I hope Gt Yarmouth benefits. I am very fond of Gt Yarmouth , am only sorry we have not been able to pay our usual visit due to the pandemic.

The area needs a boost. I hope they can stay, unblemished, long term, and be seen by all.

So it’s IS Banksey he has confirmed he’s done them all
Yes like most seaside towns they do need a boost and he’s given it for sure, so they are in Lowestoft, Oulton Broad, Gorleston Great Yarmouth and Cromer a little trip through north Suffolk and Norfolk Five small to middling towns that have struggled by losing all the nationals that took up half their high street
A little boost if nothing else

Excellent a great boost for an area I know well. So good to hear something positive in the middle of the doom and gloom.
