Daily Herald Photograph: Ilford factory, applying photographic emulsion

One photograph titled 'Making plates/ films at Ilfords' showing a factory worker applying emulsion to photographic paper. [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 was probably taken at the Mobberley laboratory.]
