Owners of house featuring latest Banksy appear to be removing the street art

The new owners of a house which features the latest Banksy appear to be removing the famous piece of street art to protect it.

Builders have been spotted at the 'Aachoo' mural working underneath a large sheet of tarpaulin - with loud drilling noises heard throughout the day (19/02).

Banksy's work on the side of the home, on the famously steep Vale Street, Bristol, caused a stir in December as the house was due to be sold.

There were rumours the artwork meant the sale wouldn't go through and the sellers would pull out - as the art could add millions to the property's estimated 300K value.
