Look if they still hark back to the stage coaches, ie luggage on the roofs with the sheets to cover them over rolled up at one end. What will happen if they try to light the oil lamps with the sheet over the top?

I think I have the top photo of York Wall in a book - probably a Ken Hoole one. I've definitely seen it before. The location is now a grassy bank with some flower beds iirc.
