In 1983, the town was predominantly rural with limited development. A main road ran west to east, passes through the River May, while a smaller road in the southeast led to a farm. There was a school situated to the north of the river, while the police station and post office were situated below the river and close to the main road. Additionally, a shop was lies on the eastern side of the map, whereas the farm lay further to the southeast. Eventually the right top corner of the estate was occupied ny the forest.

At present,the plan for redevelopment illustrates that a dam has been constructed in the northern part of the river. In the northeast, the former shop has been replaced by a large supermarket. Another development is the demolition of the forest to make way for new housing. Furthermore, petrol station and cafe are constructed below the Munster road.
