On the trail of "Banksy?!

On Friday afternoon, there were tweets going around and a great picture by Julie of a possible 'Banksy', the well known street artist whose wonderful artistic creations and social commentary on the state of society and particularly appearing in areas which had been better days, sometimes these artworks were ephemeral in nature, so possibly only matter of time before he visited Lowestoft?! Anyway a possible 'Banksy' had appeared in Lowestoft London Road North, specifically on the side of the old 'Lowestoft Electrical' building on the wall you used to walk past to visit the old Tesco's supermarket in the town. On Sunday afternoon 8th August, Jenny & I parked in Alexandria Road, North Lowestoft and we saw this wonderful creation plus the sand, sadly all the recent heavy rain had obliterated the accompanying sand castle, we were left with a heap of sand! Next stop was along denmark Road, specifically the junction with traffic lights and another depiction, this time of a seagull or specifically Herring Gull swooping down onto a skip with tubes presumably represnting chips. This artwork, although also fantastic, differed in style to a typically 'Banksy' but was well done except where the paint had dripped down, possibly the artists had to vacate hurriedly? Next stop was Nicholas Everitt park, and Jane F very kindly gave me the exact location, but all the car parking spaces were taken and we had to walk 10 minutes from the 'Dead End' at Oulton Broad to the bridge that you walk over to enter the park from the free bowl car park. Another piece of really great street art which looks to me like a 'Banksy', was on the south side of the bridge. Sadly, the accompanying boat on the left hand side had been removed by the Council worried about it blocking a drain. This art installation was also gathering an appreciative crowd. Jane F also furnished me with details of the next one the wall lining the northside of Link's road, another great piece of art thet looks like a Banksy and another smaller appreciative crowd gathered here. Next stop, a short drive to Admiralty road, Great Yarmouth, were on the right hand side of the road, 1/4 mile down, just above a bus stop was another 3 figured charming Banksy-type piece with the legs on one of the seated figures (right-hand one) dangling beneath the bus stop shelter, giving a more 3D effect (where the sand castle, boat had been used in the earlier works mentioned) Howver, heavy rain forced us back to the car and we drove to the small free car park beneath the Cliff Hotel at Golreston and in the first shelter south of there was a crane contraption above the seat in the shelter where people could pose underneath here as if there were about to be grabbed by the artwork, another Banksy? We shall have to wait and see, but really wonderful to see this artwork and I think personally 5 of the 6 pictured here are Banksy, but I repeat we will have to wait and see if and when it is confirmed on the Artist's Instagram site.
