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.

There is another specimen from this site, same date - likely to be Shrewsbury?

[David Price]

Newly fulled cloth and tanned animal hides were stretched and dried on frames, secured by tenterhooks. These operations were carried on at tenterfields or tentergrounds.

Discovering Shropshire History has "Report and valuation of land known as 'The Tenter Fields', Shrewsbury", describing them 'as near Town Walls'.
