Homes in a city suburb were left cut off from power for more than 18 hours.
Businesses and houses in and around Trowse were experiencing power cuts since Sunday lunchtime as UK Power Networks attempted to deal with the issue.
Crews from the network spent hours "investigating and fixing" the issue before resolving the issue 20 hours later at 11am.

A spokesman for the network said: "A fault has occurred on an underground electricity cable affecting the local area, we may have to dig up the road to carry out repairs.
"We know that being without power can be especially difficult, so we're sorry for the unexpected outage.
"Please rest assured our staff will continue to work around the clock to keep the lights on."
