After arriving on the scene, firefighters worked with residents to find the cause, which saw a fire crew from Bedale attend. 

The noise turned out to be connected to electricity, which caused the houses to lose power - with firefighters reconnecting the power. 

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "A crew from Bedale responded to reports of a loud bang and loss of electricity. Crews investigated and confirmed that the power had tripped. Crews reinstated electricity."
