The railways changed what we eat and the culinary tastes of the nation. Moving produce around at speed was suddenly possible - fresh meat, wet fish, dairy, fruit and veg, were now widely available.

In London the new system of rapid transport made it possible for the capital to enjoy food supplies from all corners of the nation.

A network of complex underground supply depots and stores grew up around the growing food industry in London.

Historian Liz McIvor goes inside these long-forgotten vast underground depots and tunnels to connect Smithfield with the rest of the railway network.

She also discovers one of the largest former depots at Somers Town in London which was once a huge hub of activity.
