Draw the raised bridge! – New mural in Hull. 26 January 2018

The artwork was discovered on 26 January on the Scott Street Bridge in Hull, a town in eastern England. The stencilled piece depicts a boy raising a makeshift sword with a pencil attached to the tip, carrying a shield, and wearing a cap and a colander on his head.

On his Instagram account, Banksy changes the wording to RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGEBanksy being for the EU and Hull being the city with the highest Brexit leave is one take on the artwork. It could also refer to the Siege of Hull in 1642, when King Charles I was refused entry to Hull by Sir John Hotham and the Parliament.
