Is It A Banksy?

Last week the local paper ran an article about a stencil on the front of the doomed Odeon cinema. Their hope was the artwork was by the graffiti artist Banksy and this would be a lifeline and save the building. It's sad the art deco building isn't worth saving on its own merit. It hasn't just appeared, it has been there for well over a year. Should it matter if it's a Banksy or not, we really know it's not the art it's the money it might be worth. Banksy's artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.

This article has been written by Ashley, it's an observation about St Albans but I think its sentiment could apply to most towns.

I wanted to highlight an issue regarding the seeming inevitability of demolition and development in St. Albans. There are many cases here where sites are marked for demolition, and no matter the levels of campaigning and the scale of the protest, the plans of the developers always go through in the end. It appears only to be a question of time.
