| A section of the impressive pier-and-gulls print which is familiar to customers at Barclays in Cleethorpes |
WHEN the Cleethorpes branch of Barclays Bank closes on June 28, what will happen to the framed photograph that has long been an impressive feature above the length of the three-cashier counter?
The image depicts the town's pier with black-headed gulls wheeling in the foreground.
It is not known who the photographer might be, but the picture was obviously taken in autumn or winter because the gulls are in non-breeding plumage - their heads are not black.
What is more, black-headeds are relatively scarce in Cleethorpes in summer because they breed elsewhere - many in Norway.
According to staff, no decision has yet been taken on what might happen to the bank's fixtures and fittings, but several customers have made inquiries about the print and whether it might become available.
One option the bank might consider is to invite customers to submit bids for the picture, the money raised going to charity.
