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.

Is this place Treville?

[mossysal]

Although I lived in Hereford for eight years I didn't know before of the existence of the Canal in Hereford, but there is a reference to it here and to the location at
OS Grid reference SO51604160

see http://www.smr.herefordshire.gov.uk/post-medieval/canals/hereford_gloucester.htm

I think the T...word is "tunnel"

tunnel looks good

Thanks to you both.
I do however think it odd that Ley who always seems to give place-names however vague did not on this occasion.

I think because the site is right in Hereford city. On one of the references it says that the canal was crossed by a bridge at the top of Widemarsh St. (where I used to teach)!
