I presume 'Adel' on label is 'Addle'

[oldnick]

I know there is an Adel near Leeds, and that West collected often there, there is also a dam there, with the map showing some marsh symbols below

[Tom Humphrey]

I should think the locality is Adel, as you've suggested and the locality entry for 'Addle' should be changed (it currently has a grid ref of SE33).

There are five West specimen's associated with 'Addle bog, near Leeds'.

Is there another Addle other than the Adel below?


OS Grid reference SE275395

I have learnt that the place was spelt 'Addle' until 1816 and thereafter Adel.
