From the Brantford Expositor, November 2010:
BOW PARK FARM "Bow Park Farm became well known internationally for its short-horned cattle when George Brown, a father of Confederation, owned the property. After Brown's death, the farm was purchased by Joseph Shuttleworth and Lloyd Harris, who developed a model dairy farm and testing area for Massey-Harris farm machinery. A one-room rural school was built on Bow Park to accommodate the children living there." |

History of Brant County 1883 - Brant Canning Company
In 1868, Mr. J. R. Shuttleworth commenced the purchase and sell of fruit and its products as an especial industry; this business soon expanded to such successful compass that an increase of force became desirable, and Mr. J. M. Shuttleworth was admitted as a partner with his brother; this was in 1875. Four years later J. M. Shuttleworth took up his residence in Liverpool, England, in connection with the export and import business. The canning of fruits and vegetables was undertaken in a small way in 1879; this enterprise also proved remunerative, and an extensive business has been developed therefrom. The firm now occupy a large brick building on the north-west corner of Dalhousie and King Streets, where they have ample facilities for putting up five thousand cans of fruit each day, and give employment to sixty operatives, many of whom are women. The interest of Mr. J. M. Shuttleworth was purchased by his brother, George H. Shuttleworth, in 1882. The firm are large importers of foreign fruits, fancy groceries, etc., and are extensively engaged in the handling of native apples, large quantities of which are annually exported to European markets. This establishment is one of the largest and most complete of its kind in the Dominion. "
