A town is breathing a sigh of relief after homes and businesses escaped largely unscathed from the worst flooding seen for decades.
People in Thetford were left fearing the worst on Boxing Day evening as hundreds in the area were told to flee their homes following heavy rainfall.
With the River Thet said to have burst its banks for the first time in 50 years, and water levels on the Little Ouse River rising rapidly, the same message was given to dozens of families in Brandon and Hockwold.
