And the lady in the middle of the street, who walks like a fashion model... She might be, truth be known. Damned good shot! That's the "'street photography" I'd like to take. Looks almost Weegee-ish, except it's not so much in your face as his...

well, technically I suppose you're right - they're not really lost. But very, very few people are aware of when they're walking above one of them, or even that there's one there at all.
There's also at least one 'lost' canal - the New River, an aquaduct which was built in the early 17th century to bring drinking water to London from a spring in Hertfordshire (one of the counties to the immediate north of London). It's still flowing, and supplying us with some of our drinking water.
All this talk of lost subterranean waterways reminds me of moles, those who live underground, especially in abandonned subway tunnels.
Rumour has it that there are many miles of uncharted abandonned subway tunnels in New York, much of which is inhabited by "moles" who are said to have their own vicious society down there. Who knows how much of it is urban legend, but there does seem to be at least a seed of truth to the myths.
All of which reminds me of one of my favourite photos by Eugene Richards:

See, now we're back to photography again!! <vbg>
