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.

Collector - same as on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/252271/?image I think...
I've seen 'Tubular Bridge' before - anyone remember its location?

For a similar sheet, see: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/238486/
this suggests the site is the Menai Bridge, and the collector J E Griffiths possibly.

Most googles for Tubular Bridge come up with Stephenson's 1848 Menai bridge to - gather the first of this type so seems to have retained the name colloquially as a sort of engineering type specimen....
