The only way is to visit the remains, if they can be found. With the industrialisation, 1850 on, people moved from the north of UK to find a job in London.

Here are beautiful places, with many, many interesting things to discover. Travel 8 starts in Islington, where you reach it with the Tube at Angel Underground Station. Outside the station turn on the right, towards Islington Town. Here you find the monument to Hugh Myddelton, the man that in 1613 had the idea to create an aqueduct for selling fresh water to Londoners. Water came only from the North, (this was the reason why the Romains founded London on the north shore of the Thames).
