Prestbury House ~ During And After The Second World War

Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster (first written in 1960), updated in 1971:

Another industry that flourished here for a while on Boreham Road was the shoe-making firm of Messrs. C. And J. Clark from Street. During the last war the Americans occupied Prestbury House and built spacious hutments behind. Some of these buildings were taken over by Clarks after the War, to start a flourishing business that later moved to new premises on Fairfield Road, now Strode Components.
