A note on what counts as a Woodfield photo

"Woodfield" is a defined geography, two formally designated Heritage Conservation Districts (East 1993, West 2008) bounded roughly by Queens Avenue, Adelaide Street North, Pall Mall, and Waterloo/Wellington. A lot of London-Ontario photography online is loosely labelled. Every photo above is either GPS-verified inside that polygon (with the source page giving an address inside the HCD) or hand-tagged "Woodfield" by a long-time London-ON photographer who maintained a dedicated category for the neighbourhood.

What's not here: photos labelled "London Ontario heritage" with no specific Woodfield context, photos of Eldon House (just outside the western HCD edge but very near), and Victoria Park photos (south of Queens, technically outside the HCD though commonly experienced as adjacent). When in doubt, we erred toward strict.
