Locals are not happy about the removal of the valuable artwork, one of 10 Banksy created in coastal towns in Norfolk and Suffolk, reports Metro. The black-and-white stencil painting of a child in a floppy hat, holding a crowbar like a shovel, was originally installed with the paving slabs in front of it pried from the ground and a sandcastle built at its base.
That, unfortunately, appears to be exactly what is happening.
“It’s the extremities of capitalism,” Peter Kennard, a professor of political art at London’s Royal College of Art, who has worked with Banksy, told Sky News.
