It's said that people's ability to notice faces, even where a whole person cannot be seen, harks back to man's prehistory when this skill helped an individual to stay alive. Today that skill exists in us still and it has transferred to inanimate objects - we can see faces in wallpaper patterns, clouds, domestic appliances, the fronts of cars and even in buildings. The gable end of the building called Peterscourt in Peterborough has a "face" that I cannot help looking at each time I walk by. Look at my photograph and you'll see the the small windows as two eyes, a chimney flue nose and even part of a further small window as one of the nostrils. The open porch and doorway, of course, form the gaping mouth.
