Grocott Heritage
Centre
The Grocott Heritage Centre is a little hidden gem which can be found in Prees, Shropshire.
Established in 2023, the Heritage centre is located inside an old warehouse. The centre celebrates the impressive 76-year history of local haulage and distribution giant Grocontinental, which was owned by three generations of the Grocott family until 2017.
The site showcases a fascinating collection of memorabilia that details the company’s journey throughout the decades.
Visitors can explore vehicles spanning the life of the business, along with historic photographs, documentation, and a detailed timeline that tells the story of how Grocontinental has grown into the company it is today
Anyone who has been part of the journey gets a mention, from family to staff and everyone in-between.
It really showcases a journey of determination, hard work and rewards.
If you are passing it is well worth a visit and it is totally FREE
The centre is also located next to a lovely cafe,
The Old Piggery Cafe at Brookdale
which has friendly and welcoming staff, as well as great food at a good price.
The cafe boasts impressive views and outdoor seating.
