There is a para "The larger area of Woodford is formed from South Woodford and neighbouring Woodford Green and Woodford Bridge." IMO this is incorrect, if a (local) person refers to "Woodford" they mean the area around Woodford tube, or possibly also including Woodford Green. But as an E18 resident personally I'd never say I live in Woodford, but in South Woodford. Equally the residents of Woodford Bridge are unlikely to say they're Woodfordians afaik. --Lost tourist 13:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

The term Woodford should refer to the whole parish which indeed includes South Woodford, Woodford Green and Woodford Bridge. Woodford is named after the ford which is in Woodford Bridge, so Woodford Bridge must be part of Woodford. The fact that they all have "Woodford" in their name is a bit of a giveaway. Woodford Station could more accurately be named "Woodford Green". WilloTheWisp 00:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Co-ordinates

I have re-added the co-ords (Latitude=51.593453, Longitude=0.025717) to the infobox. Apparently they were removed because they were believed to be wrong; however if you go to streetmap.co.uk or maps.google.co.uk and enter those co-ords they will point directly to the roundabout at the junction of George Lane and The Viaduct, which is pretty much dead on for Sth Woodford town centre. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lost tourist (talk • contribs) 05:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

Hi. The co-ords need to specify whether they are North,South,East or West, otherwise they are not complete. I have added this now. The confusion was caused because I'd assumed it was West when it was actually East! Cheers, --Rebroad 12:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
