The diagrams show how the town of Bridgetown changed from 1700 to 2000.
In 1700, Bridgetown had a simple layout. The market place was in the center, surrounded by farmland and some woods. There was a castle to the north, along with a road and a bridge over the river. This setup shows that the town focused mainly on farming and local trade.
By 2000, Bridgetown looked very different. The market place was still in the center, but much of the farmland was replaced with buildings, showing that the town had grown. A school and a railway line were added, which means there were more services for the people living there. The woods were still around, but they were less important as the town became more urban.
Overall, Bridgetown changed from a small farming town to a larger, busier town with more facilities, reflecting how towns can grow and change over time.
