This specimen appears to have the locations Huddersfield and Tynemouth. As there are no moors near Tynemouth I suspect it comes from closer to Huddersfield, but in that case, what does the Tynemouth refer to?

There are 2 specimens on the sheet, so I would think one from each. (The other Baker specimens from around this time are from Cumberland, Midlothian, and further north; which may or may not support this!) Unfortunately my wonky computer won't allow me to edit at present

For the record there were plenty of moors on Tyneside, e.g. Town Moor and West Moor, many surviving as placenames or as SSSIs.
