Nearly all of the ones that are in England now!! It wasn't so long ago that old towns have since disappeared and new ones sprung up, we're only talking about 120 years ago, not millenia!
However, since the 19th Century, many towns have expanded and grown considerably, either due to industrial or commercial activity, or to residential development as a result of the increased population since then. Some were small settlements back then, that have since expanded to become much bigger.
The only few towns NOT to have existed in the 19th Century are the 'New Towns' devised by 20th Century planners between soon after WW1 and the 1970s- these include Milton Keynes, Telford in Shropshire, and Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, which was designed as a model residential town in the 1920s.
England had become the world's first society of industry by the nineteenth century, as well as the first urban society. By 1851 more than half of England's population was living in towns. Although many of the people from England emigrated to North America or Australia to escape poverty, there were still as many as nine million people by 1801. English 19th century towns had dreadful conditions. They were dirty, unsanitary and overcrowded, the streets were unpaved, garbage accumulated along the streets and was not cleared.
Disease was common due to poor sanitation and lack of education or research for better health. Poor families would share toilets, but luckily by this time most towns had begun to dig sewers and established piping for water. This helped make 19th century society slightly healthier. Though, due to disease life expectancy was rather low, increasingly low in town and cities.
Homes could be comfortable for the well off, for the poor it was dreadful. These were homes with three and sometimes only two rooms. The houses were literally back to back, as well as stacked on top of each other, with windows on only one side. Because of this homes were poorly ventilated and damp. People slept on piles of straw as they could not afford beds. Sometimes families were forced to live together in one room.
