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.

Kent & Allen says Edward Forster collected in London and Epping areas. Looking at the labels on the sheet I read 'Woodford' and 'the Forest'. The latter must be Epping Forest. In which case I think this is 'Salters Buildings', referred to in Lichen Flora of London (Laundon, 1967) [pdf], as at TQ389893. In Forster's day these were separated from Woodford by a strip of 'forest'. Built in 1726 by Sir John Salter.
