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.

This is just one possibility for location of 'Donnington': SU469670
an area of Mills on the Kennett at Donnington/Newbury, Berks - but I could not find any similar collections from Berkshire. However I wonder whether the collector's handwriting & style of labelling suggests a similarity with other anonymous ABS sheets of the period eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/240550/

Seems good to me as on searching I find several sheets of this style from nearby on the Derbyshire bank, around Barrow-upon-Trent! (none from the Leics side - our collector didn't fancy his chances on the chain bridge with a vasculum??)
