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.

Woods collected from Lewes around this date. There apparently is or was a Walnut Street in Wannock, NW edge of Eastbourne on the Lewes Road, but it isn't on the modern map. http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/nostalgia/county-yarns-wannock-walnuts-and-a-curious-link-to-llamas-1-5967031 and:
'the area [Wannock] was once known for its walnut groves' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willingdon_and_Jevington

[Roger Horton]

Yes: Wannock was marked as Walnut Street on OS 1st series map, 1813.
