Black-and-white but the C19th variety. These are c1820. Grade II listed.
The pedimented no. 10 looks like a chapel but the listing states that it "is said to have been the house of the Prison Governor, built by the prisoners". The near building was Hillscourt Nursing Home.

Blackall Road, Exeter
The northern side of the eastern part of the road - a little more up-market than Image, with decorative brickwork in the gables, and a jettied turret beyond the Raffles Hotel - again seen from the crossroads with Howell Road. Housing only occupies the northern side of Blackall Road; to the south the ground drops away down the side of a cutting to the Exeter-Axminster railway line. Blackall Road is named after Offspring Blackall, Bishop of Exeter from 1708-16.
