The story begins in 1934, when the row of shops you see today was first built. Just two years later, in 1936, my great-grandfather, W. S. Kenyon, took over the butcher’s shop—and it has remained in our family ever since.

Both my grandparents and my parents went on to run the business, most notably my Dad, who dedicated 53 years to the shop, from leaving school right through to retirement. Growing up, I spent Saturdays, summer holidays, and Christmases here, learning firsthand what it meant to serve our community.

That commitment to helping others has been passed down through four generations. Good service was always the heart of the shop—and now, 90 years on, it remains the guiding ethos of the clinic.

Together as a family and with help from friends, we have spent a full year refurbishing the old butcher shop—honouring its history while transforming it into a sports injury clinic. The space is now totally re-imagined, although we have tried where possible to recycle material left from shop defit into the build. We’re proud of where we’ve come from, and even more excited for what’s ahead.

Today 135 Ayers road starts a new chapter as Kenyon Physical Therapy. To us this clinic isn’t just a business; it’s a continuation of a family story, reshaped for a new generation with the same commitment and care at its heart.
