Speculation is rife that a world-famous street artist has graced the outskirts of Chelmsford.
A mural has been painted on Burnham Road, South Woodham Ferrers showing a Chimpanzee holding a red balloon and sign that reads Love.
The artwork is somewhat similar to previous work created by Banksy. If it is found to be genuine then the mural could be worth a lot of money.
