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 am not sure what the date is. This is presumably Sowerby, Thirsk as per label on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/272918/ which also bears the inscription ??'apestal medaparean'. I don't know whether Thirsk/Sowerby has any 'Railway works' or whether it merely appears in 'Heart Beat'.

Think that this is another of J G Baker's / Watson's classifications (zones) of mid-agrarian etc - see
http://www.archive.org/stream/contributiontofl00painrich#page/4/mode/2up/search/mid+agrarian
and that it reads Sowerby, N Yorks as you suggest.
agrestral = plants of cultivated ground (in Watson's classification)
