The short answer is to take it to a reputable coin dealer who will verify it as genuine and possibly value it for you.

Compare it to a note that you know is genuine.

There should be a consistancy with the colouring and the notes measure 151mm x 84.87mm. Heavily circulated notes may measure up a little smaller due to folds and wrinkles.

The signatures of any of the three Chief Cashiers should be the same for the Chief Cashier concerned (J. B. Page, G. M. Gill or G. E. A. Kentfield).

The paper it is made from is a closely guarded secret, but the note will have a certain feel and texture about it not evident with forgeries.

All Bank of England banknotes have watermarks, and metallic threads running through them.

What is the value of a Bank of England Florence Nightingale Ten Pound note dated 1820 1910?

As these notes were demonetised in 1994 it is likely that they are worth more than £10 but the condition of the note is paramount in establishing its value, as might be the serial number sequence. For instance an uncirculated note is going to be worth more than a used and crumpled one, but its value will not be much more than its face value. You can of course take it to the Bank of England in London and exchange it for a current £10 note, at face value.
