In medieval times, streets were primarily lit by torches, candles, and oil lamps, which were often placed in metal sconces or hung from posts. Some towns employed Watchmen or lamplighters to light these sources at dusk and extinguish them at dawn. However, street lighting was generally sparse and inconsistent, leading to dark and potentially dangerous conditions at night. Wealthier households sometimes used lanterns to illuminate their immediate surroundings, but overall, public lighting was limited and depended heavily on local resources and regulations.
