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.

Word or abbreviation follows "road to the Lickey" - can you decipher?

[oldnick]

A good possibility would be the Lickey Beacon, though it looks more like Birmingham which doesn't make sense unless he meant something like the Lickey-Bm railway line or canal. The railway incline is famous among anoraks for its steepness. Local knowledge needed!

The label reads "road to the Lickey - Bm". Bm presumably means Birmingham. I would expect the plant not to have been at the destination (Lickey). Jordan lived at Ladywood.
