Hello! I'm just wondering if anyone has information on who owns the empty property, Kenro Press? I've seen online that whoever owns it have asked for planning permission to change it to a residence, rather than business (February this year), but wondering if anyone knows more? 

Thanks in advance :). 

Hi all,

My partner and I are the new owners of the shop. We have known and admired it for many years, and thought it would be an amazing place for us to live. 

It has been left empty and has been neglected for a very long time. So there is a lot of work to be done. 

We plan to fully restore the shop front, all original features and fix all the issues the building has. And turn it into our home. 

Really excited for it all to begin.

: )

If you have any questions please feel free to private message me.

thanks

I often walk past 'Kenro Press' and think it looks very sad and negleted.

I wonder when it was last a viable business - tried googling it but nothing much came up

Great to hear it is being brought back to life, perhaps a pity it will not be a new usefull retail premises.

Lots of work needed so good luck with your renovation

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
