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.

'The Dover': according to an IoW council document [pdf] on the Ryde Conservation Area:

Ryde Sands is an actively accreting coastline. Onshore easterly winds bring large quantities of sand onto the Esplanade and North Walk. This supply of sand would have fed the dunes, known as Ryde Dover, which were present along this coastline prior to the Victorian reclamation of the foreshore.
