Echo file URL from Laravel storage

Im using this code in my laravel view to echo a files path, but its coming up in chrome dev tools with a 404 response.

which echos this onto the page

http://localhost:8000/storage/public/bd0e2f7f.png

The file lives there and this is the correct name for the file so im not entirely sure why its coming up with a 404!
