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.

Quite likely as you say, since all Towndrow's specimens around this time are from Herefordshire and Worcestershire. He has none from Worcester itself. I was interested to learn recently that in the 19C, Worcester Cathedral was hemmed in by massive smoke-belching factories
