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.

Despite searches for related specimens I couldn't manage to identify location or collector - Mcdale? Tredale?

I think the collector is Wilson Crosfield Worsdell; see http://plants.jstor.org/person/bm000032816

In Sept 1930 WCW collected in E Kent VC15. Preston is therefore likely to be in Kent.
