A piece of graffiti art has appeared on a wall in Port Talbot, which critics are speculating is the work of anonymous street artist Banksy.

It has appeared in the Taibach area of town and is painted on a back street garage.

It shows a child with what appears to be snow falling on him but the other side reveals that it is a fire emitting ash.

Workers from Neath Port Talbot council are erecting a fence around the artwork.

The image is similar in appearance to the distinctive work of the artist.

Already, the sight of the artwork is drawing crowds from the town.
