This is a confusing specimen. As well as the above, the label refers to a specimen found in a pit near Over, Winsford, 6/1827, and this specimen could be from that date. I found Bruche in the east part of Warrington; and Brush Farm further out at Glazebrook, SJ697923, but both are in S Lancs, albeit not far from Cheshire. Warrington was in Wilson's home area.
