Hoopern Lane, Exeter
The name Hoopern comes from the nearby stream. This is a well-used pedestrian route between Exeter city centre and the university campus. This section is supposed to be pedestrian only, but is often used as a cycle route. The wall on the left shows two stages (at least) in construction; that on the right shows several stages of graffiti
