Ipswich Borough Council bring in expert to look at Giles muralpublished at 09:22 British Summer Time 29 September 2016
Ipswich Borough Council says it's going to bring in one of its conservators to "test" part of the area where a large mural by Carl Giles is thought to be covered by two layers of paint.
The mural is in the former Drum and Monkey pub in the town, which is now closed and due for demolition.
Spokesman Max Stocker said the conservator will see if it can be restored: "If it can, we will use our best endeavours to get an art expert in, who can actually take it off. It's a very painstaking process.
"It will be fascinating to see if we can actually bring the mural back to life."
