Hopesprings begins at the open space (public square?)where [[Spa Lane]], [[Pallant Street]], and [[Water Street]] meet. It does not quite reach the hill of [[the Tump]], as an un-named street connecting Spa Lane and Pallant Street causes it to intersect at a T-junction. As with its close neighbour Spa Lane, being called a "spring" is interesting in this context: the old acqueduct that at one time brought fresh water into the city and which directly follows the line of Hopesprings is discussed more fully [[Mort Lake|elsewhere]] but there is circumstantial evidence to suggest that it was routed ''through'', rather than ''around'', the Tump.

It is interesting that in this context, {{SAM}} specifically notes that a ''bath-house'', of all the unlikely things to find in Ankh-Morpork, exists at approximately the point where Hopesprings meets Water Street...
