More Banksy-style graffiti spotted
12:01pm Wednesday 5th March 2008
THE Banksy craze sweeping Chippenham still seems to be taking hold of the town.
Since the original sighting of a potential Banksy on a bus shelter in Marshfield Road, four more images were found across the town.
The two sketches on the footbridge at Chippenham railway station, of an open train carriage and a batman silhouette, are still causing excitement.
Jeff Thaw, 35, of Downham Mead, travels to London on the trains each day and was amazed by the two images.
He said: "They look so real and when I saw them for the first time I was bowled over to be honest.
"I think it makes a pleasant change from the usual muck that is sprayed over walls and fences.
"I am a huge fan of the originals and these are second to none."
All of the images still remain in across the town, despite claims from bus shelter owners Adshel claiming they will remove the original piece.
