Edgware

My family has deep roots in Edgware, though I have never been there. My grandfather, who died before I was born, emigrated to Canada from Edgware in 1905. His father, committed suicide in the Railway Moat in 1895, as he mistakenly believed his business was failing. I would love to know if this Railway moat still exists..
