"My slight worry is, we've got Storm Dennis coming on the weekend, so I really want to try and protect the roses," she toldLocal resident James Bullock reportedly spotted scaffolding on the wall of the home when he walked past it around 6:20 a.m. local time on Thursday, according toGetty Images "We hope it's Banksy's work. Come and have a look yourself. Whoever painted, it's worth admiring their creativity. Thank you."
