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.

Thanks, those excerpts are very interesting.
The meadows in Nottingham were built on and lost many years ago but the area is still known as The Meadows.
