Bolankan House
Image: © Rod Allday Taken: 8 May 2011
This house in a prominent position on the east slope of Chapel Carn Brea and very visible from the A30 below had for many years the Yin Yang symbol painted on the south facing roof slope. The roof has recently been re-slated and the south slope (not visible in this photo) is now almost entirely covered by an array of photovoltaic cells. However, it's interesting to see that the owner's apparent interest in things oriental is now evidenced by the huge Chinese dragon painted on the gable end. Also visible in the photo are the farmsteads of Tredinney and Brane, centre right and far right respectively. The summit on the horizon above the house is Caer Bran in square Image
