the piece, which has been authenticated on banksy’s instagram page, can be found on vale street, one of the steepest streets in britain. featuring a 22º incline, the street attracts crowds on easter sunday, where people get together for an egg rolling contest. a temporary plastic covering has been put over the work to protect it.
