The old Ilford has passed on, it is no more, it has passed away, gone. Bereft of life, it has expired and gone to meet the great darkroom trash bin in the sky. It has kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible... It is an ex-company... (with apologies to Mr. M. Python of Fugglestone St Peter, Hampshire)...

It was broken up and sold off in (mainly) two parts. What we are calling Ilford is in fact Harman Technology Ltd (named after Alfred Harman who originally founded Ilford in his basement) trading under the name of Ilford for it's B&W products.
