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 couldn't locate 'Scawley Gull Ponds' or similar; nor any other specimens of J J Marshall

I think it's a variant of Scawby near Brigg. There are a couple of references via google to Scawley/Scaby Hall near Brigg, and a modern mention of Scawby Gull ponds.
