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.

collector? location? banks of Avon .....

[Roger Horton]

Perhaps Townsend writing 'A H' for Albert John Hambrough.

[David Price]

Collector's initials are certainly "A.H."

Word after Avon appears to be "Warwicksh."

[oldnick]

Yes I definitely agree. The labelling is characteristic of F T / A H, and I can confirm the species grows on the Warwickshire Avon; where F T lived and his cousin A H would have visited him
