Banksy artwork to be sold with Bristol building it is painted on

Known as Well Hung Lover, it shows a man hanging from a window ledge as a cheated rival searches for him while a woman stands by.

The image appeared in 2006 on the wall of a sexual health clinic, though the street artist is said not to have realised what the building was.

Hollis Morgan, an estate agency, is selling the Bristol property - and the Banksy - with a 250-year lease at auction next year.
