More sites may exist as it is believed records are incomplete (Cooper et al., 2013). The locations of historic landfill sites are shown on this Environment Agency map (the landfills are shown in red when you zoom into the area you’re interested in). Details of the sites can be obtained by downloading the datasets and opening them in GIS software, e.g. QGIS or ArcMAP.
