Does anyone know of any Banksy original graf anywhere in the North of England that has been noticed or documented?

if not does Banksy submit to the stereotype of the North/South divide .....could we even say there is a 'Banksy brain drain' that benefits the south?

Being in sunny Manchester i crave the odd stencilled rat to pop up for me to admire on the way to work
any thoughts?

There was plently in liverpool but nearly all stolen.....strange that

[Dellboyy]

Yup there's a bomb middle england down the alley on the right hand side of the slug and lettuce on deansgate in manchester.

You can miss it, it's on the left hand side just pass the window bit!

That's the only banksy i'm aware of in Manchester, anyone know any others?

[anthoz]

that wouldnt surpise me
i walk down that little alley each morning, daydreaming, fag in hand
talk about right under my nose
thanks for that +1 respect
any others?

[Dellboyy]

Ha, sounds about right, i've been past there i don't know how many times and didn't notice it until someone on here spotted it!

I suppose i should look at walls more often as i'm walking along! :-)

[arcam]

Any further North?

[anthoz]

also agree with getting up and doing it yourself, thats what banksy did.
i was thinking of starting a ' mancsy' cult with little snippets popping up over the city
not so much 1 person but a group idea of leaving small works for people to find/admire etc

[finsburyparkranger]

Sounds great. Go for it.

[anthoz]

any takers for the inaugural 'manksy' showdown?
i was thinking about some strange and bizarre rat stencils that bring to light aspetcs of life oop north
rat with pie and chips perhaps?

theres 2 laugh now's in glasgow which brought up a bit of debate between me and my pal whether they were real or not, there very worn and i think they mite have been done when he had an exhibition round the corner in the arches in 2001

[anthoz]

can anyone confirm that the banksy in manchester is genuine
does anyone know of any others?

I've no idea if it's actually genuine, it does look quite detailed, however it's quite small, and half the banksy tag bit has been knocked off.

I think i've got a picture of it somewhere knocking around... i'll try and dig it out tonight!

[anthoz]

ok just found this
have a look:

[anthoz]

has anyone seen the monkey on oldham street , Manchester who can confirm its there?

[Dellboyy]

I've not seen that one myself, any idea's where exactly on oldham street it is?

Banksy aside, there are loads of invaders of course in Manchester, and i believe a few weeks ago on here someone mentioned a Choe on oldham street?

[graeme501]

if banksys reading this .... come up north do some more stuff, dont worry, ill cover ur megabus ticket ;D

[arcam]

[Opus Underground]

When the Baltic had the Spank the Monkey show on Banksy did a piece under the gallery stairs..... but after the exhibition finished they white washed over it!

[anthoz]

nice pic
where was it spotted?

[njr911]

Choe has done a big one on Exit or one of the Skate shops.

[trowel]

Lets not forget there's a Barcode somewhere in Manchester's shopping centre - photos in Tristan's books.

[goffy]

Curley, even worse than the couple that were stolen in Liverpool, most of them have been painted over!

[Neverwork]

spotted a rat on on a boarded up house in spencer place, leeds, earlier this year, now gone, sos no pics. also painted 3 on a duck shed at a farm just outside leeds one piece was sold in sale 14890 vision 21, 25 april 2007, lot 207 (untitled, tv girl £32,000). also used to be a cashpoint on the back of the uni halls in about 2000 not 100% sure if that was banksy though.
