RESIDENTS and businesses in Darwen found themselves without electricity for a short time after a 'mystery' power failure.
Shops and households were left without power and traffic lights were out of action around the Cobden Street, Borough Road, Astley Bank, Huntington Drive, Bolton Road, Belgrave Road and Bridge Street areas.
Helen Lord of United Utilities said there was a "transient fault" and they did not know what had actually caused the power failure.
She said: "Unfortunately these transient faults can come and go."
