Life in Prees

I have great memories of living in Prees from 1958-1968, my late husband's parents, Wright and Gladys Speed had lived in Primrose Lane in the village for many years. We moved into the house next door which is now the kennels. My husband had lots of family living in and around the village, including Nellie and Vic Grocott (whose son still runs Grocontinental). Our 4 children loved living in the village and have lots of fond memories of our time in Prees. They would be out for hours during the summer months. Prees club was a great place to meet up with friends, and we've hosted many a family party there. There was a young girl evacuated to Prees in the Second World War who stayed with Mr & Mrs Minshall, she loved her life in Prees so much that she remained there for the rest of her life, that's the sort of village it is.
