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.

I looked at JBPs time line and he only collected in 1956 [apparently] so I have taken the number bottom R/H corner as the date and not 1894 as at top.
Does anybody disagree r comments please?

Phipps detted a lot of specimens at BIRM in the early 1950s and collected too; "1894" is part of his personal numbering sequence as examination of his labels reveals.

I agree - it's just his number. Note that it says "Salop" on the sheet, too, which tells you that the correct site to use is Wyre Forest, VC40. I think where he has written 7674 this is intended to be a grid reference (in 1954 that would have been possible) but I think he has transposed eastings and northings, so the grid reference should be SO7476, which is in the Wyre Forest and in Shropshire (SO7674 is neither).
