Known as Jack Shutler he ran the Garage on Burley Street, with his two brothers also working in the village, one with a garage and the other livery stables.
Jack Shutler’s garage was used as the model for the “Jack Tucker’s Garage” display in the National Motor Museum at nearby Beaulieu. His house was used as the model for “Burley Street Garage” in the Lilliput Lane series of collectable models. The original garage building, a cart shed, was alongside his house, whereas the current one is over the road.
He married Mabel Shutler in 1918. His son John, who served in the RAF during the war, ran the Burley garage and petrol pumps in the centre of the village that later became a gift shop. He became chairman of the Parish Council in the 1960s.
