Roy Carter Tribute 2009, Ringwood

Graffiti and street art tends to appear in urban settings with rural pieces either being swiftly removed or surviving by accident because no-one has noticed it there.  This rather lovely tribute to a  local known as Catweasel, Quack Quack or Mr Roy Carter, has graced a wall in the market town of Ringwood (edge of the New Forest) for nigh on seven years.   The local paper (obviously) asked was it a Banksy?
