A Banksy artwork created during the street artist's 'Great British Spraycation' that could be worth millions may soon be lost to the sea, a local council has warned.

The guerrilla graffiti artist visited Norfolk in August 2021, leaving his mark in coastal towns such as Great Yarmouth and Gorleston.

But perhaps the most difficult of these works is being continually deteriorated by the North Sea on a defence wall in Cromer, Norfolk.

The art once depicted a crab with a shell on its back holding a sign reading 'Luxury Rentals Only', facing a trio of crabs without shells.

But the faded work has since been vandalised, with the words in the speech bubble now covered up with several exclamation marks and question marks above each of the other three crabs.
