We have had a tumbleweed economy for weeks, with shuttered shops, deserted town centres and a public made fearful of venturing beyond its front doors.

Hanging lanterns lent a soft yellow glow to dark shuttered shops.

Across the street, the beggars were also napping on the steps of shuttered shops.

I drove down empty streets lined by shuttered shops, glimpsing a few joggers and cyclists taking advantage of the time off and the warm spring sun.

Picture this: shuttered shops, an air of decay and unease usually associated with a windswept, failing inner-city shopping precinct in the shadow of a tower block.

Within the main accommodation area daylight was admitted via a double-glazed and shuttered window and through a small square pane high on the northern wall.

Side elevations were generally plain, with shuttered windows or doors.

Shuttered windows are built into walls incised with profuse painted floral carvings.

The pithead was made airtight against its reduced internal pressure by shuttered windows and close-fitting doors.

There are shuttered windows on either side of this door.
