Book Description

EDWARDIAN HERBARIUM Plants collected on a Walk from Nottingham Road Tram Terminus to Coxbench Via Breadsall Moor in Derbyshire, September 1915 With a faint date and name on front cover, appears to be September 1915, this is a very nice sixteen-page Herbarium of plants collected whilst on a walk, starting from Nottingham Road Tram Terminus to Coxbench. The start point would have been on the outskirts of Derby which is now built upon, taking a route passing to the east of Little Eaton, then over Breadsall Moor and past Drum Hill, then to Coxbench, collecting specimens from Moorland and Woodland environments, old quarries, Hedgerows, Streams, Meadow, Pasture lands, and cornfields along the way, The whole route where the plant specimens were collected is neatly drawn out at the front of the book “Form V” is also written on the front cover, so this may have been a schoolboy or schoolgirls project. The album measures 15 inches by 10.5 inches approx., covers rubbed and worn, else everything is pictured so content and condition can be seen A VERY NICE EDWARDIAN HERBARIUM OF PLANTS COLLECTED ON A WALK IN DERBYSHIRE OVER 100-YEARS-AGO
