I am their expert on Ilford matters. Some rogue bandits are removing my useful comments on information on Ilford. I know Ilford better than these so called experts. -- anon —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.163.11.108 ( talk • contribs) .

I personally found this quite accurate description rather amusing - and it's not very often that I am amused by anything to do with Ilford!!! It simply sums up in very basic language, that Ilford is a complete dump. —Preceding

I've moved information about the photographic company to Ilford (company). Personally, I think this article should be moved to a more specific name, and the article about the company should be here as "Ilford". Ilford as a place name probably only matters to those in the UK. To many people outside the UK, "Ilford" is a photographic company. As an Australian, I only learnt about the town/district by looking up Ilford here in Wikipedia. But that's a matter for the future. For now I'm working on the Ilford (company) article.

Just as an addendum, the article is now Ilford Photo since that's what the company is called after going into receivership and being rescued with a management buy-out. So I guess that simplifies things with the name. -- Imroy 16:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
The map in the template is misleading. It locates Ilford at the southern end of Ilford Lane, rather than giving the location of the station or the town hall.-- Runcorn 22:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I'm having trouble understanding the relevance to the modern town of the distinction between historic and administrative county. If you consider this relevant, I would move it to a historic administration section, rather than try to make subtle distinctions in the lead paragraph - more relevant are the modern boundaries of the district.
I must admit, also, to being wrong. It is no longer an Essex postal code, careful reading of the post office regs shows they have not used counties since 2000 - they retained the 1965 county information because they couldn't afford to change the system in London! Otherwise, it would have disappeared then, or with the next revision in 1985.
I'm also a little mystified why Ilford has such a well developed education section whereas London Borough of Redbridge does not. While not encouraging you to duplicate the information, I think putting it in the later division - would be better with a see LBR link in the Ilford text - others argue for a purely local focus and that would argue for a more focused list under Ilford.
Just a few thoughts that are better worked out with a chat than constant edit changes. Good luck. Kbthompson 15:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Ilford IS part of Essex, hence the reason the address "Ilford, Essex, IG1"! And the fact that Ilford Royal Mail sorting office serves Essex! I know some people in Ilford hate living in Essex but bad luck! Unless someone gets the government to change the postal districts Ilford will always be in Essex! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spymo ( talk • contribs) 20:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
For goodness sake!! Some of you die-hards have got to pull your head out of the sand and accept that Ilford is NOT in Essex any longer!! Ilford is part of the London Borough of Redbridge and we have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Essex. The only tiny teeny weeny itsy bitsy thing that some people have to hang on to is the silly postcode which hasn't been changed SO FAR because postcodes are normally only changed by the sorting office. If the sorting office is moved, then the more likely it is that the postcode will be changed. It's very confusing for people who perhaps don't understand the geography of North East London, to keep suggesting that Ilford lies in Essex - it doesn't, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with not wanting it to be in Essex, just the mere technical fact that it isn't in Essex. One day, the postal code will be changed and it will finally put an end to all this confusing nonsense. For example, I just voted for the London Mayor however, my sister, who really does live in Essex, did not. Why? Because she lives in Essex and not London! —Preceding unsigned comment added by YouGovnr ( talk • contribs) 19:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Do we need a separate section for one sentence?-- Runcorn 07:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
