The
village of Kennoway is situated in the Parish
of Kennoway and lies a mile north of Windygates and two miles
north-west of Leven.
It once had malting
and brewing industries. When these declined, the village became less
important.
Road improvements and new industry in the form of weaving and shoe-making led
to renewed growth in the nineteenth century.
Kennoway was
designated a conservation area in 1977.
The village now has an Industrial Estate, playing fields, a primary school, a
community centre and a bowling green. There is a stone quarry nearby.
