Banksy pieces still on the wall in Bristol
Most of the Bristol pieces are gone, painted over, cut out of the wall or lost with the building, which makes the surviving handful worth pinning down precisely. These are the works still on their original surface, with the year they appeared, the wall they were painted on, and the perspex, planning decision or owner's refusal that kept each one there. Where a piece has been damaged or retouched, that is noted too.
