Kennedy's was a chain of grocer's or butcher's shops. My wife's mother, when the family lived in West Wickham, always bought at Kennedy's. After her death, no matter at whose home we 'children' were meeting up for Christmas, a family member would make the journey to Wickham for Kennedy's pork chipolata sausages to accompany the roast bird. This shopfront has some endearing features: the 'sunrise' motif in the upper panes of glass; polished granite, possibly, below the window; and a prettily tiled threshold. The first two items hint at a 1920s or 30s makeover, while the tiles and fascia date from an earlier period. This business is some form of eatery.
