Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Bye bye Banksy!
For a few days now I've suspected something was afoot with Turnpike Lane's Banksy; it's been surrounded by scaffolding and tarpaulin since Wednesday - and there was a security van present for much of that time.
This morning I had a sneaky look under said tarpaulin to find it had been removed. I spoke to the guy rendering the wall and he said that after repeated attempts to gouge it out, the owner of the Poundland building had decided to take steps to 'preserve' it. He wasn't sure where it's gone...one can only wonder if it's been sold. Sad to see it go - it was nice to have a landmark of sorts...

Only just spotted this pic, Eugene. How on earth did you take the photo? Were you on top of the van?

I love the way, that their greed has turned the wall into a piece of shit.
not that the owners will see it....it aint as if they live in the area.
