  • 5 years ago
The new Banksy which has appeared in Cheltenham, the home of government surveillance agency GCHQ. It looks as though celebrated street artist Banksy may have been in Cheltenham. Images of wall art resembling the Bristol artist's style have appeared on the side of a house on the corner of Fairview Road and Hewlett Road overnight. They depict 1950s-style spies, clad in trench coat and trilby hats, carrying listening devices. They provide a perfect foil to Cheltenham's role as the home for listening post, GCHQ. The painted figures, on a wall surrounding a BT telephone box appeared overnight on Sunday morning.
