Rachel Hirst, a bus driver from Rackheath, spotted several of the artworks on Tuesday.

"Some people hate graffiti," she said. "If someone’s just tagged their name it can look awful but when its done well its nice to look at. Love it or hate it, I thought these were brilliant and they brightened up my day."
