==== Railway ====
West of the village of Prees, but not in the village or the parish as the name would suggest, is the [[Prees railway station|railway station of Prees]] opened in 1858. It lies on the [[Welsh Marches Line]], between [[Whitchurch, Shropshire|Whitchurch]] and [[Wem]]. There is a regular service with pre-determined stops. The station is not in the village itself because Captain Black, a wealthy resident in the village stated that the station had to be exactly one mile away from the centre of the village, which at the time was the mill, located (still today) on Mill Street. This was so that it could be easily reached as a route out with the goods produced.{{cn|date=June 2023}}
