Nearly 20,000 people have signed an online petition in a bid to save a 'Flintstone' home at the centre of a planning row.
The homeowner usually allows people visiting to take pictures of the house, but drew the line when returning home to find children playing on her roof.Helen Garcia, who started the petition, wrote:"As a child I would drive to San Francisco with my family to see my grandmother. I would wait patiently until I was able to catch a glimpse at the Flintstones house. At that time it was just orange and round and it intrigued me.
"Now when I drive my daughter up north, she waits to see the house and the steel statues that line the yard. She is a huge fan of the T-Rex. "In a land of forest green there is a home where, in our childhood imagination, Fred and Wilma greet each other and say 'I'm home'."
