Ilford Limited: Analogue Stories is an exhibition exploring the working life of employees of the former Ilford Limited photographic factory.
The company was founded in Ilford in 1879 and operated out of a factory and offices in Roden Street until 1976.
The exhibition explores stories of past workers held in the collections of Redbridge Museum & Heritage Centre, alongside memories from former workers of their time at Ilford Limited in the 1960s and 1970s.
Also on show are new portraits by renowned photographer Eddie Otchere and local young people, as well as work by local photographers using Ilford products.
At the heart of Ilford Limited is analogue photography and this display shows the beauty of Ilford film as a tool to experiment, make portraits and capture people’s stories.
This exhibition is produced in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery as part of their Inspiring People: People Powered programme.
This exhibition has now closed.
