A Great British Spraycation

Works

• Three children near a boat structure with the tagline "We're all in the same boat" in Nicholas Everitt Park, Oulton Broad, Suffolk. The boat structure was removed by Oulton Broad Parish Council to prevent potential flooding as it was blocking a drain and rain had been forecast; the council said the structure would be put back.
• A large mural of a seagull on the end of a terrace in Lowestoft, Suffolk, appearing to try and eat 'chips' from a skip.
• A child with a crowbar next to a lifted paving slab and a sandcastle on London Road North, Lowestoft. The work was removed from its original location by the owner of the building in November 2021.
• A rat in a deckchair drinking a cocktail at the bottom of Links Hill, North Beach, Lowestoft. The cocktail glass was placed below a pipe that often drips with sewage waste.
• A couple dancing and a man playing the accordion on top of a bus stop on Admiralty Road, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk .
• Graffiti on a miniature stable saying "Go big or go home" with Banksy's name and a rat at Merrivale Model Village, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
• An arcade claw machine above a bench on the seafront at Gorleston, Norfolk. It was subsequently altered by the addition of six teddy bears stencilled beneath the claw and the words "Banksy Collaboration Emo" alongside it, reportedly by a local artist. The work has since been defaced.
• Two children being flung into the air on an inflatable boat while the adult who pumps it up is drinking at Gorleston model yacht pond. This artwork was removed by Great Yarmouth Borough Council due to its proximity to the area where a child died after being thrown from an inflatable in 2018. The council said it hoped the work could be restored and placed elsewhere.
• A group of hermit crabs, one in a shell and holding a sign saying "Luxury rentals only" in Cromer, Norfolk.
• The alteration of a statue of Frederick Savage in Guanock Place, King's Lynn, Norfolk with a model ice cream and a tongue.
