Hull Banksy: New home for graffiti artwork revealed
A number of options to display the artwork have been considered by the authority in recent years, including building a replica bridge on the original location.
The segment of bridge, measuring 7m by 2m (22ft by 6ft) and weighing more than a tonne, depicts a child wielding a wooden sword with a pencil attached to the end and a caption that reads: “Draw the raised bridge!”
Within days of its appearance in 2018, the artwork was defaced, which led to a protective screen being installed by the council.
Despite being one of the world’s most famous artists, the identity of Banksy remains unknown.
