Ilford was founded in 1879 in the English town of the same name. They are B&W royalty in the photography industry thanks to their 140-year heritage and their support for photographers with chemicals and development as well as film. In the mid-20th Century they produced several well-regarded camera lines (including one given to Princess Elizabeth that was later stolen!) but today they are focused on producing the best films and development processes that they can.

Love using XP2, gives a different look to other b&w films with punchier contrast and more strength in whites. Would also recommend as it saves some cost when developing.

Mixed results
I think I asked too much of this film in the conditions I was shooting in. Some very mixed results with some under and over exposed images, definitely trending towards under-exposing in bright sunlight. This is largely down to my inexperience but I still managed some interesting shots while finding my feet. I have another roll of this and I feel sure I learned enough from the scans that the next set of images will show improvement. Some nice contrasts.

My Desert Island Film
Mixture of stuff shot up the Norfolk coast on XP2 with a few tweaks in post.
Lovely, sharp pictures from a film with more latitude than that pop festival what they have in Suffolk.
If I had a Desert Island film, this would be the one I'd pack for the voyage along with enough Pinot Grigio to sink a battleship and a couple of Nikon FM2s.
