The mural depicting "Boys with a Kite" is a piece of street art by the anonymous Winchester-based artist known as Hendog, who is often compared to Banksy. This particular work is a newer iteration, painted on a bridge near the Handlebar Café on Garnier Road, at the base of St Catherine's Hill. The mural shows two children gazing up, and a real kite has been cleverly left nearby, creating an interactive installation where the boys appear to be watching it fly overhead. This artwork is part of a series of popular, nostalgic, and often emotionally resonant pieces by Hendog across Winchester and the wider Hampshire area, with an earlier, single "boy with a kite" piece having previously been painted on the wall near the same cafe.
