Banksy

The Great Escape

A mural of a prisoner climbing over the wall of the old Reading Gaol, using a typewriter.
The prison once held Oscar Wilde.
This piece was vandalised not long after it was painted (the typewriter was painted out and the tag ROBBO was added over it), but it was repaired and now has a perspex screen covering it and a fence around the bottom of the wall.
