Location given only as High Firs - Harpenden seems highly likely as site of so many of Salisbury's specimens similarly labelled - there's a High Firs Crescent there

[Roger Horton]

In the NE corner of OS square TL1513 there was Highfirs on the 1892-1908 map, ~2km from Salisbury's boyhood home, and now Aldwickbury School.
