The Kodak Site in 2019
The Kodak film company opened a factory in Harrow in 1891. At its peak in the 1950s around 6000 people worked here but the rise of digital photography and Kodak's failure to engage with it caused a swift decline, leading to eventual closure in 2016.
The factory has been demolished and the site is being prepared for housing.

Developing Kodak
The remnants of the large Kodak works in Harrow seen from Headstone Drive. The foreground area has been cleared in preparation for redevelopment and proposals from the Land Securities Group have recently (2013) been given the go ahead by the government. The new development will be a mix of housing, retail space and industrial units. Kodak, in the form of Kodak alaris - a separate UK business bought from the parent company by the UK Kodak Pension Plan and manufacturing printing papers, have indicated that they remain committed to a continued presence as an employer in Harrow.
