An image of an old woman sneezing without covering her mouth has been spotted on a wall in the Totterdown area – a possible nod to the current health crisis. Crowds are already gathering at the bottom of Vale Street – one of Britain’s steepest roads – to take pictures and discuss.
According to Sun: “Aileen Makin, who owns the house, was due to exchange contracts for the sale of the semi-detached Bristol home next week. But the family said yesterday they had pulled out of the sale after an art dealer valued the home at £5,000,000 since Banksy’s mural appeared. The average house price on the street is £300,000, according to Zoopla.”
“Nicholas now claims the artwork – named “Aachoo!!” – is actually costing them money after the family installed an alarm system and perspex screen to protect it.”
