A number of English place articles have references to the English Place-Name Society database at Nottingham University for the origins of the name. Unfortunately the database has been recently moved, and so the links now fail.
For example, the origin of "Yeardsley cum Whaley" , referenced in Whaley Bridge, was at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczappdv/epnnewmap/detailpop.php?placeno=11721
but is now at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~aezins/kepn/detailpop.php?placeno=11721
Is there any way of automating (or semi-automating) the task of fixing these links?
