How much Liverpool's lost Banksy rat graffiti sold for and where it is now

The mural of a giant rat by the street artist Banksy stencilled on the side of a Liverpool pub has seen many new homes since it disappeared.

Appearing out of the blue overnight in 2004, the striking artwork baffled passers-by when they first saw it on the corner of Berry Street and Duke Street. Since then, Banksy's stock in the art world has risen to point where some of his artwork now sells for millions.

The rat became a local landmark in the city for nearly a decade and had pride of place on the derelict Whitehouse pub building until it was removed in 2013. The former pub is now home to Petit Café Du Coin, a French inspired café bar.
