Town artist paints second Banksy-mural at Pontefract pub

The new image on the Hope & Anchor gates | other

A second Banksy-style mural celebrating the NHS has appeared at another pub in Pontefract this morning.

Local artist Rachel List was behind the original painting on the side wall of Horse Vaults on Horse Fair yesterday that garnered huge interest online.

And the self-employed artist was out again overnight, this time at the Hope & Anchor pub on North Baileygate.

Painted on the double gates at the side of the pub, again it shows the NHS logo and nurse with a paintbrush in her hand, but this time painting a rainbow, which has become a symbol of support for front-line NHS workers in recent weeks.

Rachel took to Facebook this morning saying: "Playful, and childlike. A tribute to the NHS, key workers and mostly all the kids who have helped spread rainbows through the streets."

David Papworth, manager at the pub added his thoughts on Facebook, saying: "The Hope & Anchor supporting the NHS and all key workers, thanks to Rachel List."
