Seven Noses of Soho |
|
|
Scattered around Soho are seven sculpted noses on buildings. A strange myth says that if you can find all seven you will be wealthy for evermore! It is rumoured that the seven noses are the casts of sculptor Rick Buckley’s own nose. He first left casts of his nose in 1996, although he didn’t stop there and left his final cast in 2005. Many locals and tourists have been walking around Soho trying to find all the noses to see if this myth is true, however, not all seven have been found to date. Noses have been found on Meard Street, D’arblay Street, Bateman Street and Great Windmill Street. An extra nose has also been seen on Admiralty Arch, although this is apparently not an original and is not a cast of Rick Buckley’s nose.
