Daily Herald Photograph: Ilford factory, quality control

National Science and Media Museum
Bradford, United Kingdom

One photograph titled 'Scene at Ilford's' showing a factory worker inspecting sheets of photographic film or paper for quality control. [Ilford acquired various sites and merged with many smaller manufacturing companies over the decades. By the 1930s, manufacturing seems to have been consolidated into three main sites: Ilford for glass plates, Brentford for film and Mobberley for paper, although paper was sent to Ilford for cutting, packing and distribution. However, they also had laboratories to deal with raw materials, cine films etc. This photograph could have been taken at any of these sites.]
