Where would you see this?      Is it cursed perhaps?

It is indeed St Eilians Church in Llaneilian.   We had a walk in that area yesterday and got soaked so we stayed in the Church for a while. It's a lovely little Church with lots of history and a cursing well near the shoreline!      &well&

This coal bunker doesn't look new to me, in fact it looks quite old.   Can anyone shed any light on where it is?             $walesflag$

It's not in Trinity Church but could there be some connection?

I've just watched this coal bunker on a film so it's famous really.  There's more to this coal bunker than meets the eye.

It reminded me of that old Christmas cracker joke "  What's black and white and red all over "  but it's not like that now, especially in today's light.

I saw it when I was there on 25th January but I'm an old romantic anyway.  That's the last clue today because I'm tired and it's time to put the lights out.

25th January is Burn's Night - so it could be the coal hole for storing the black stuff until it was required to stoke a furnace or boiler, maybe the pump for a mine.   Just my usual guess but really haven't a clue as usual!

Jack, you must be an old romantic like me!     St Dwynwen the Welsh Patron Saint of lovers lived there and had her Church built  on the Island.
The coal bunker is behind the black and white lighthouse although the lighthouse was partly painted in red for the Demi Moore film Half Light.
I saw a clip of the film on U-Tube yesterday and lo and behold the showed a shot of the coal bunker. Blink and you'll miss it though!

Not the usual view you see of this building in the UK but what is it called?
