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.

More text on location on a blue sticker. Any ideas on where this is?

a complete guess but might this read
dry ditch side in a short lane off (?) the road to Tattenhall village ......

Harbord Lewis's handwriting is a menace! There's another sheet collected on the same day, that Charles Bailey has read as "By a dried up brook at Hather Heath in main road & near the entrance to Eaton Hall." That sounds to be the same or a nearby locality - the only problem is that "Hather Heath" doesn't exist (maybe 'heather heath' ??)

I agree with "Dry ditch side in a short lane off the road to ????? village"

the name could conceivably be Bailey's "Eaton Hall" (though that doesn't have an associated village).

Is the final part " from the r[ail]way station" which could be consistent with either Tattenhall or Eaton Hall (but makes more sense for Tattenhall).

- after a while you can see anything in the hieroglyphics.

Bailey's Hather Heath is Hatton Heath based on this specimen at ABS.

Therefore the locality could be Hatton Hall (which also has a village and a railway).

I will have a look at the other sheet out of curiousity!

Tattenhall is fine but is the road from the village "in the Righi direction"?
