N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Holmes Farm is a recurring name in Lincs, but I have found no site called Holmes or The Holmes. 'Lincoln' could refer to the city or the county; 'vc 53 or 54' added by curator

Thanks! Swanpool & Swanholme are on the SW edge of Lincoln, though I couldn't find Brayford

The OS 1st series map (1856) shows The Holmes between Brayford (Pool at junction of River Witham and the Fossdyk, Wikipedia) and Main Drain. Now built over as New Boultham:
