"The Mild Mild West" street art by Banksy is painted in Bristol and features a teddy bear throwing a fire in a bottle at police officers. It was painted in 1999 and was painted in response to the police arresting people who were having parties in abandoned buildings in Bristol in the 1990s.

I also photographed one that I had previously showed, which has since been vandalised by someone throwing paint onto it.
