In August 2005 the gentleman on the right was leading a photowalk around the Hackney area of east London.
He took us along to see a recent Banksy work.
However, back in 2005, not everyone was aware of Banksy and his artworks, or graffiti as the property owner described it.
The artwork had just been overpainted, leaving just Banksy stencilled inside the top meter box.
This is a re-scan of an image from August 2005.
