I'm not sure about Albion Plantation vs Albion plantation. The article seems to call it Albion and never capitalizes the word plantation, even when using the two together, so I'm not sure it's part of its name. --valereee (talk) 15:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Agree, it's more of a disambiguator as Albion exists but it seemed clumsy and unnecessary to put it in brackets. The sources use all the different versions but the historic sources tend just to default to the shortest possible name. I think they just got fed up adding Plantation or Estate to the 100s of different plantations and I am sure they didn't care at all about the capitalisation.
