Two maps illustrate urbanization, which occurred in the town of Langley in the period of time from 1910 to 1950, highlighting significant changes in infrastructure over the period. Overall, the town transformed several amenities for workers with those for local residents.
The infrastructure was formed by Sherman and Jordan streets, which used to be distinct before got united in 1950. Accomodations towards those two street were replaced with bigger building, three flats for Jordan street and three mansions for Sherman street. Factory, railway line and railway workers’ cottages were all demolished, leaving space for other facilities. In addintion, wasteland on the south by 1950, was turned into a Sherman park with its’ children’s play area.
Less significant changes occured to commercial buildings such as store, cafe and laundry. Last two were only moved from along Sherman street to the north. While store was placed from the same street to the south-east of the town with additional ones. Those stores were standing along a new road called new lane.
