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.

'Polam' is a mystery to me

[Tom Humphrey]

Polam Hall, Darlington, formerly owned by a quaker rail magnate. Presumably known to James I'Anson who was born in Darlington to a Quaker family and worked for the South Eastern Railway.
