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 Ford Stream, or discover which Street is meant

[Roger Horton]

Difficult to locate Ford Stream exactly but it seems to have been part of the western boundary of Street (ST43), North Somerset, according to snippets via G gle!

[oldnick]

I see Summerhayes has a dozen other specimens from there, from very varied dates; as well as from other places nearby

[David Price]

Summerhayes was a native of Street.

The western boundary of Street parish was the Chalwell brook or Ford stream.
