The installation was welcomed by residents excited to see the mural back in the town centre.
One said: “It’s brilliant that it will be seen in that location.
“[It’s] so good that it’s been saved and is a nice little reminder of a little bit of Bracknell history.”
Another added: “WOW it looks fantastic and such a great place to put it.”
The town’s new addition comes after a number of other pieces of artwork were recently moved to new locations.
As the News reported last month, the William Mitchell mural which used to be based at Charles Square is now on the side of Braccan Walk Car Park.

Two pieces of stone artwork which also belonged to the old town centre have also been given new homes after making way for the regeneration project.
They have now been placed at The Met Office roundabout and the 3M roundabout, and residents were split about their new locations.
Andrew Hunter, a director at the council, said: “Bracknell Forest Council is delighted that the stag mural is now back on display in the heart of the town centre.
“Originally in Crossway, this mural is the last of the old art to be re-sited, enabling residents and visitors a clear view of the art.
