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.

Can't make out the location in Hitchin "?hillbury Gate"? and initials above Blow's name "TB&C"? Any ideas?

possibly Willbury Hill. There's another T B Blow Phleum specimen collected there the previous month:
