‘They’re local lads’: artist puts mural of Bellingham and Rogers on chip shop

The mural in a Birmingham suburb is so popular that the shop’s owner is opening two hours early to meet demand

On a busy junction in Quinton, a suburb of Birmingham, England football stars Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers are peering out from the side of a fish and chip shop, tucking into the local delicacy: orange chips.

The huge lifelike image was pasted on the wall on Friday afternoon by a local guerilla artist seeking to foster West Midlands pride, both for the area’s footballing stars and for its distinctive neon battered chips.
