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.

Apparently there's a Wild Moor Clough at SK021748 west of Errwood Reservoir near old railway terminus (interweb), this is also in the Macclesfield area, but well into Derbys, nearer Buxton and Combs Moss, where Ley collected at the time. Maybe for once Ley slipped up with his labelling ........?

Never underestimate old Ley. The river Goyt formed the boundary between Cheshire and Derbyshire until 1936; Errwood Reservoir was not built until the 1960s. If he was opposite Wild Moor Clough on the west bank of the Goyt, Ley would have been in Cheshire.
