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.

Many references to Cross Hill, and this one seems apposite


"old course of river Severn under Cross Hill, near Shrewsbury" and "the ancient bed of the river Severn"
