A petrol station has reopened less than two months after closing.
Woodrow Garage, in Holt Road, Cawston, closed its forecourt next to the garage in November last year under the strain of the cost-of-living crisis.
The garage has been owned by the Woodrow family since the 1980s, but Paul Woodrow said the fuelling station and shop arm of the business was barely breaking even - despite turning over around £1.7 million a year.

Now, Gloucestershire-based Sterling Petroleum has taken over the forecourt, and is set to officially open on Wednesday January 10.
The forecourt will be run by Gowtham Varatharasa and will be open seven days a week from 6am to 10pm.
New digital pumps have been installed and the shop will become a Nisa Local, complete with a hot counter, bakery section and Costa Coffee Express machine.
It will operate as an off licence, selling fresh and frozen groceries, and there are plans to build a car wash, which will open by March this year.
"I'm pleased to be open here in Cawston," Mr Varatharasa said.
"It's a busy area and I hope the garage remaining open next door will help to bring more customers."

Sterling Petroleum's managing director Nakendram Piratheepan opened his first forecourt in 2020 - turning small and sometimes run-down forecourts into thriving businesses.
The company now operates more than 20 sites across the country.
The Woodrow family have been in the motor trade since the 1960s and both the garage and forecourt were established by Paul Woodrow's father, Ralph, in 1985.
Mr Woodrow's own son, Matthew, has now also come into the family business, working as a mechanic at the garage.
The garage continues to provide a range of services, such as MOTs, car services and diagnostics, vehicle repair and breakdown recovery.
