Banksy unveils new 'morning is broken' artwork' but it's already been demolished

Banksy has shared photos of a new artwork on a derelict building - but fans won't be able to visit it as it's already been demolished. The Bristol street artist posted three pictures on his Instagram page this afternoon (March 15), which is where he officially confirms new works.

The first one showed a derelict house half covered with ivy on one side and with crumbling brickwork on the other, with the Banksy piece on one of the walls designed to look like a window. The second shot showed a close-up of the work, appearing to show the silhouette of a little boy opening a pair of corrugated iron 'curtains', with a cat also peeking into frame.

But the third photo has left some Banksy fans gutted, as it showed the wall almost completely demolished with a digger and a pile of rubble next to it, with the artwork nowhere to be seen. The fenced-off property, which Bristol Live understands to be near Herne Bay in Kent, could be seen with a skip and a worker in a hard hat and high-vis, looking towards the pile of bricks.
