Visiting Bristol on Saturday, can anybody give me some information on original Banksy pieces still about?

Had a great day out a few years back, following a similar post, saw the Hanging Man, Gorilla With a Mask, Thekla pieces, looking for some insider knowledge as to anything around?

Appreciate the Google, 'tourist' approach, but any information would be really appreciated.

Mild Mild West is still there and it’s just round the corner from Well Hung Man, think it’s in Stoke Croft.

[John The Badgers]

Thanks LJCal, really appreciate that, just what I was after.

Didn't realise it was still there? This Forum's good, never let me down yet!

Any other 'hidden gems', insider knowledge would be really appreciated.

‘Well Hung Lover” is Frogmore Street at the bottom of Park Street which is approx 20mins walk from Stokes Croft..

[letterpressed]

If you like Graff, head to Dean Lane Skatepark. Not been there for a while but there is normally loads of stuff up on the walls. Not Banksy though..

This will give you an idea of what to expect!



Spot a young 3D at 3mins 32secs!

[John The Badgers]

Nice one letterpressed, really appreciate the post.

The updated ppe edition of girl with pierced eardrum would be worth a visit.
Think there is still a faded Barcode in Bristol too.
Also a short drive to the burning tyre at Bridge Farm school. Don't visit during school hours though😉
Don't forget the massive stik

Might want to bring a brolly with you and perhaps your own tipple of choice. Follow the below:

Thanks Terryfuckwitt,

Have you a location of the faded Barcode?

Wasn't aware of the Burning Tyre either, nice one.

The Stik a classic, good shout, will definitely take a look, is this his only work in Bristol?

Thanks for everyone's input.

I can't remember the exact whereabouts of the Barcode, It was a few years ago I saw it, hopefully someone here might have more info.
Burning tyre was well worth the visit, although it's across the school field, you will need a good lens for decent photos.
Bristol Museum has the Paint Pot Angel statue but is worth a visit anyway.
Grim Reaper is at the Mshed.
Don't forget the Valentines piece at Barton Hill which I presume is still there.
Go for a wander round some back streets at Stokes Croft where Mild Mild West is, to get to see a load of decent graffiti. There is also a very old Banksy wall up there as well.

Shame the pandemic has taken the summer out , the canteen by mild mild west was a nice place to hang out for a coffee And home made cakes , poetry readings , live music
Pipe and slippers pub use to have great Sunday roasts , then you have the lanes behind pipe and slippers
Giant nick walker in town with lots of graffiti and also the Upfest area has some street art

[wrigs]

Sadly Upfest went the way of many festivals this year but if haven’t been make a return trip as it’s a great weekend out if the suns shining. As Tab mentions still a lot of the art work around if take a stroll through Bedminster towards Ashton gate if have time

[churchwood]

There was also supposed to be a street art exhibition at M Shed this summer, it looked good too.

This is what the Barcode looked like in 2009, so I doubt there's much left. Pembroke Road/Clifton Park.

The "Planning permission" wall was torn down a few years ago.

[hnkpnk]

Don't know if it's still there but inside "Pierced up" piercing studio there is very early Banksy on all walls.

You can barely see it through the windows of the Google street view pics:

Worth looking on streetartcities app for Banksy. Using that I saw one rose trap.

There is one can over angel inside the Bristol museum and there is Banksy of his name at Barton Hill where Banksy start it off there. Worth going on John nation street art tour as good to listen...

I can’t put photo here as I can’t work this out!

[John The Badgers]

Thanks N,

Appreciate the input, planning a return trip in the future, so handy to know.

As to pictures, cant believe I am advising on this as the worlds worse on tech, but I use Imgur. You can upload from your computer, then just paste the URL from Imgur when you hit the 'Upload Image to Reply' tab.

If you have any pictures, would be great to see.

[wrigs]

Get yourself back down for Upfest in the future. One of my favourite festivals now as a great couple of days out.

Hopefully we’ll have the bars back open for you next time 👍🏻

[John The Badgers]

Was booked in for this year Wrigs until recent events, next year all being well.

Not been before, and a couple of people on here saying the same as you, so will certainly go.

Well hung lover had a bit of a makeover last week🤣
