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

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALinkSearch&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nottingham.ac.uk%2F%7Ecczappdv%2Fepnnewmap


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?
