Basildon Site, Open Day, 12th June 1976

'Open Day' image provided by Bob Chaffee.

Bob tells me "I worked for Ilford Inc. in the US for 9 years (from 1971 to 1979). During my tenure I was involved with Medical Imaging (X-Ray).
I began my career at GAF in Binghamton, NY which was previously known as Agfa-Ansco. It is interesting to note that Anitec purchased the GAF Binghamton and ultimately the Ilford facilities. I left GAF to go to Ilford and from Ilford went to work for Agfa Gevaert.

       

I believe this view is looking south across the (now) A127 Southend Arterial Road and Christopher Martin Road.

According to current Google maps, the main building (left front, above) still exists (2011; see below), as do many of the other features identifiable in the picture above.
(Enter address: Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, SS14 3, UK into the Google maps search bar and then 'pan' left, i.e. west).
