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.

There is a Gorsey Bank in Shropshire, N of Weston-under-Lizard; however on the same date Benson collected from Dorrington, South of Shrewsbury

[Roger Horton]

If you read 'Gorsy Bank' - there's a wood of that name at OS SK062153, south of Rugeley - much too far away from Dorrington.

Or there was a Gorsy Wood, later called Cow Wood (still there as a name, and it's on a hill or 'bank') at OS SJ679103, near Ketley, Telford. Still 20km from Dorrington, but nearer than Weston-under-Lizard!

Or, if you want a place local to where Benson was in 8/1902 there's 'The Gorse', a small wood at OS SJ446035, about 3km NE of Pulverbatch (where he lived), and 3km W of Dorrington. Perhaps he popped in on the way home.
