[edit] Underprecise

London Director code of LABurnum (360) was assigned. Can we do a bit better then 02 as the dialling code? 0208 360 and others will do for now. Rich Farmbrough 10:05, 5 May 2005 (UTC) Can anyone confirm what I've put. Rich Farmbrough 10:07, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

What are you on about? The one dialling code for the whole of London is 020. -- Smjg 13:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

OK exchange code then. Rich Farmbrough, 17:37 28 February 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Famous people

Alfredo Campoli may have been a Winchmore Hillian. When he as an article, we'll check. Rich Farmbrough, 09:21 1 March 2007 (GMT).

Alfredo Campoli used to live in Eversley Park Road in the 1960s. Hair Commodore 17:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Another one who might be considered is LJK Setright, who was at Southgate County School in Winchmore Hill. Hair Commodore 16:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boundaries

Winchmore Hill is bounded " [...] and in the north to Vicars Moor Lane and Houndsfield Road". Some mistake, surely? I have never come across a "Houndsfield Road" in N21 - only a "Houndsden Road". Furthermore, WH extends quite a bit further north than either of these - and I should know, having lived there for many years! Hair Commodore 17:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I now understand the problem a little better. There is a confusion between Winchmore Hill as an electoral ward of Enfield Borough Council, and the N21 postal area. The former area in, I think, unnecessarily restrictive - it covers only about half the area of the latter! It seems to me that a little more care is needed with definitions. In the meantime I have fixed the error with the _electoral ward_ area definitions: as I said, "Houndsden", not "Houndsfield". Comments? Hair Commodore 17:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
