WINCHESTER’S Banksy has returned with a new mural in an unlikely spot up a hill overlooking the city.

Hendog, an anonymous graffiti artist, has painted a little girl with a yellow watering can on a log up the top of St Catherine’s Hill in Winchester.

The words “We’ll just start again” have been printed next to the girl, with the illusion that she is watering the plants growing by the bottom of the log.

Locals have been pleasantly surprised by the piece while out exploring the city’s surrounding countryside.

Hendog’s photo of his latest piece, posted on Tuesday, October 3, has already received nearly 1,000 likes.

Hendog said: "The response has been great, I always love painting in Winchester. There’s such a large amount of people who have fully embraced my artwork and are always keen to see what’s next."

The street artist made his mark at the bottom of St Catherine’s Hill more than two years ago with his piece ‘boy with a kite’ on the wall next to the footpath by The Handlebar Café.

Other Hendog murals in Winchester include a series of teddy bears, a young girl picking flower petals in Market Street, and ‘Christmas Kev’ by Winchester Bus Station.
