Banksy's latest mural demolished before it was revealed
Banksy has claimed a new mural on a derelict farm in Herne Bay, Kent, England, just a month after his Valentine's Day piece in Margate. The artwork used corrugated roofing sheets as curtains, depicting the shadow of a child and a cat at a window. However, the building had already been demolished by the time Banksy posted the images on Instagram, with the caption "Morning is broken"—a play on the hymn "Morning Has Broken." The landowner, Kitewood, expressed regret at not noticing the work in time. This contrasts with the Margate mural, which was saved by the local council for display in Dreamland park.
