Apparatus for the processing of photographic sheet material
 An apparatus, having relatively low capital cost, for the processing of photographic sheet material (22) comprises a plurality of closed treatment cells (12.sup.1, 12.sup.2, 12.sup.3, 12.sup.4) and a sheet material path (20) extending through the cells in sequence. A following cell (12.sup.3) has a treatment liquid inlet (40) and a treatment liquid outlet (42). The treatment liquid outlet (42) is connected to a treatment liquid inlet (44) of a preceding cell (12.sup.2) by way of a connecting passage (46). A single pump (48) is sufficient to transfer treatment liquid through the cells.
