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.

I wonder if it might read as
bridge, Rock(s) Wood and if the hand writing is J Woods then it is likely to be Sussex and there is

Pure speculation though

Despite the difference in grid ref, a read of the respective info indicates both are the same site I think. The 'C/b' does not quite look like an 'E' even allowing for copperplate script; I found various H@H sheets from the area for comparison of label etc, but unfortunately none from the 19thC. I am tentatively entering East Sussex though.
