People have been scratching their heads over the mystery of the green bottles

Mystery surrounds who is behind a pop-up "art installation" which has appeared on a wall next to a main road.

A rapidly decreasing collection of green bottles has been entertaining people at Kea Corner, on the A39 Truro to Falmouth Road, in Cornwall.

Rachel Ogle has set up a Facebook group to celebrate the constantly evolving display of mugs, ornamental ducks - and green bottles.

The bottles have gone down in number, just like in the children's nursery rhyme Ten Green Bottles, and Ogle said they had "definitely proved a talking point". Cornwall Council said it was aware of the bottles, "but will not be taking action unless they are found to be a risk to public safety".

Why are there 10 green bottles hanging on a wall?

Ogle said her Facebook group "Just Another Mug On The Wall" had attracted thousands of people.

She told BBC Cornwall's Need to Know the collection of bottles disappeared and then reappeared, before decreasing in number.

Ogle said: "I think it started as just one person but I have a feeling now a lot of people have got a hand in it... it's nice to keep it going."

She added: "Everybody's chuffed to bits when there's new things on the wall."
