Ooh, and while I think of it - I highly recommend "The Lost Rivers of London" by Nicholas Barton. Bit more centralised to London itself, but with plenty of information about the tributaries, etc - and a fabulous map of all of them!

There's also one of these books for Newcastle - available in the Local Studies section of the Central Library - called something like 'the lost denes of Newcastle'. They've all been culverted and backfilled but, if you know where to look, may still be found, in short sections, or damp patches after rain (in one case).
