And now the search is on to find the secret ‘Burnley Banksy’ who created the adorable images, on the bridge just past Rosegrove, close to Hapton, that leads to the Padiham Greenway. Nicola Leverton took these images while out walking with her daughters, Minnie Rose (three) and Tyler (12). And Nicola said she actually spoke to the artist who revealed it had taken five hours to complete the eye catching paintings.

Nicola said: “He said he was glad we liked them and hoped others did too. He was smiling ear to ear when he saw Minnie run up to one for a hug. “I didn’ tget his name but he deserves a huge pat on the back and a Minion sized pint, or juice. Minnie will talk about this for days to come.”
