This one does have the lights facing more or less north. A surprising number adopted the style but didn’t have the correct orientation – presumably due to the limitations of the available site. Any space heating would be a steam pipe running under the gulley so that all the convected heat and 50% of the radiant heat was lost straight through the roof. The days of cheap fuel!
