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.

Re Southam Warwickshire see:

http://people.bath.ac.uk/liskmj/living-spring/sourcearchive/fs6/fs6pat1.htm

from which " There is also a salt spring, very like Leamington water. (SP 445 605), (V). "

As such "salt" springs seem fairly rare must be a good bet for the collection site.
