Established in 2023, the Grocott Heritage Centre, showcases the 76-year history of the former storage and distribution company Grocontintental which was owned by three generations of the Grocott family until 2017.
The exhibition centre displays a vast collection of memorabilia including vehicles spanning the life of the business, photographs, documentation and a detailed historical timeline. There are also plans to add a section to the exhibition that focuses on the history of the Prees to include contributions from people who have lived and worked in the village.
For conferences, meetings or celebrations, the exhibition space can also be adapted to specific requirements.
Next to the exhibition is a café, The Old Piggery at Brookdale which is hosted by the owners of the successful The Old Piggery at Combermere, located close to Whitchurch. The café space is also available to hire for specific functions.
The café features a vast window which offers a panoramic view of the stunning surrounding North Shropshire countryside and outdoor seating. There is ample car parking next to the Centre and disability access.
