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.

User comments about this sheet

The inscription 'Wickham Hill, Witham' seems a striking mis-transcription of 'Wickham Mill, Wickham [Bishops]' a usual site of the Dixons, raising a question of who wrote their labels....? (additional to which Dixons were the collectors)

[Roger Horton]

Typing 'wickham hill witham essex' into Google maps suggests CM8 3LH, and if you zoom right in it is named 'Wickham Hill' on the map. This is where the OS has 'Benton Hall'. If you look up Benton Hall Golf & Country Club, the address is given as Wickham Hill, Witham, Essex, CM8 3LH. There is also an address 'Blue Mills Cottages Wickham Hill, Witham, Essex CM8 3LQ' which is on the east side of the river.
