Kodak opened this photographic film developing/processing plant in Harlow during the early part of the 20th Century. However, by the end of 1970s, the plant had been closed down. Whilst economic factors were cited as the principle reasons for the plant’s closure, local rumour holds that its fiscal failure was, from the 1950s onward, due to the fact that a significant amount of the photographic film sent to the plant for developing was found to contain strange, anomalous - and often deeply disturbing - double exposures, containing impossible scenes and imagery overlapping the otherwise banal and prosaic representations of everyday life taken by the good folk of Horsingdon.
