Wooden boards were available from the mid-18th century. They were lifted in and out of the shop and placed into special grooves or slots in the windows and fixed with an iron shutter bar. Roller shutters were introduced in the early 19th century but wooden lifting shutters remained popular into the early 20th century. Metal roller shutters are now popular with shopkeepers as these may be perceived as offering a higher degree of security but can be visually intrusive, particularly for traditional shopfronts.’
