Usually drab and peeling, utility boxes sitting unnoticed in city streets are finally being shown some love.
In NR3 the first of many of the metal casings has had a facelift - courtesy of an up-and-coming street artist.
A utility box in Silver Road has been revamped with a jolly pink background offsetting a painting of the city skyline.
Hannah Frost, 31, is the artist behind the jazzy mural.
The move came after permission was granted by Anglian Water to the Pockthorpe Community Group.
Hannah said: “The permission was granted and I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
"A couple of days later I spent an entire day cleaning the box to remove all the existing stickers and graffiti.”
Hannah, who works as an illustrator and launched a homeware business 'Number 27 Designs' in 2020, walks past the box every day.
She added: “With the opportunity to liven the street up I wanted to take inspiration from the local area.
“This is why I chose to paint the view of the city as seen from the top of Mousehold.”
She added so many people have stopped for a chat while she's sat working on the piece.
She said: “I think street art is great for taking some community action, we want to be proud of the area we live in and to ensure that we look after it.”
Green councillor for Sewell Ward, Gary Champion said: “We are fortunate to have some fantastic artists, like Hannah, in our community.
“We are also incredibly lucky to have people like Elizabeth at Pockthorpe Community Group behind the scenes, who have gone to trouble to get permission to allow this to happen in first place.
“Street art like this is an example of grassroots social engagement and building a sense of ownership our neighbourhood.
"Other councils should take a leaf from the Pockthorpe Community Group and encourage blight remediation projects like this, as they build a sense of civic ownership and are an excellent way to address the prolific tagging and neglect of our streets.”
How else can we revamp urban street furniture?
Phone boxes up and down the country have undergone similar makeovers in the past decade or so.
The trend began in Somerset in 2009 after the local council cut funding for the area's mobile library.
So people living nearby fashioned a book swap out of the vintage bright red telephone box.
The phone was removed and replaced with shelving, where people could take a book for £1 or simply swap one for another.
In Norwich in the past few weeks alone plans have been submitted to revamp other street furniture.
West Sussex-based architects Bentleys and Carter has submitted an application to Norwich City Council on behalf of RKC Estates to turn two phone boxes into retail units.
Two BT kiosks in Tombland could be converted into small outlets selling ice cream, coffee, repair services or other products suited to street sale.
