The diagram depicts the layout of Beechwood Farm in 1950 and how it has changed at present.
Overall, the maps demonstrate the significant changes to the farm, with some areas being removed and replaced, while others have been retained and adapted.
To begin with, in 1950, Beechwood Farm was full of cropland, such as fruit trees, soft fruits, and vegetables, between the river and the track road. On the east side of the farming area, there was a farmhouse, which was surrounded by a barn and a chicken coop, on the west and on the south, respectively. In the northeast of the site, there was a field for animals, which was used for sheep.
Today, Beechwood Farm has seen numerous developments, particularly in what was once the sheep site; two parking areas have been established, followed by the addition of solar panels and a camping field. On the site of cropland, a farm shop has been developed; however, the barn place has been replaced by holiday cottages. In addition, the two roads have been combined to form a single route leading to the barn area.
band 8.5
The map displays two regional planning schemes for the current Beechwood farm and its layout back in 1950.
Overall, there are no changes in the alignment of the main road and river. Meanwhile, there are a few changes according to the newest maps, which show land conversion between the original barn in 1950 and tourist attractions alongside the farm nowadays.
Initially, back in 1950, Beechwood farm only had a few buildings, and the rest of the land was functional for planting or livestock. On the river bank, the land was intended for planting crops, such as fruit trees, which were also next to the main road, soft fruits, and vegetables. Across the agricultural area, there was a place to herd sheep, separated by the track. At the end of the track, a triangular junction connected to the barn, along with the farmhouse and chicken coop near the other side of the river bank.
Today’s map demonstrates a more complex layout and has a few adjustments in the area, especially with narrow tracks converting into roads. While the agricultural area is still in the same place, it only has a new farm shop in the fruit trees area. Across the road, the land formerly used to herd sheep is turning into a parking area right in front of the farm shop. On the other side of the parking lot, there is a camping field. The triangle junction connects a few buildings, such as the barn and chicken coop near the river bank, the farmhouse, and holiday cottages, formerly the barn. Across from the cottages, there is also a parking lot and solar panel area.
The plans below show the site of a farm in 1950 and the same site today.
Overall, in 1950, Beechwood farm had some limited facilities, such as a fruit tree area, a soft fruit area, a vegetable area, a chicken farmhouse, a barn, sheep, and a track.
At present, Beechwood farm has undergone significant changes. The track was replaced with a road; the left side of the road is occupied by a parking place, a camping field, and trees; next to it, solar panels are installed, and parking is made in the sheep area. A new farm shop was built in the fruit tree section, and holiday cottages replaced the barn. Now the barn is connected to a V-shaped road.
In comparison, the previous and newly constructed Beechwood farm have significant changes with the new addition of a parking area, camping fields, trees, solar panels, a farm shop, and holiday cottages. All these things have made this farm more attractive and reachable for visitors and make it more valuable for the visitors.
The two maps provide information about the significant transformation which took place in the farm over the period from 1950 to current day.
Overall, it is clear that the area experienced a dramatic redevelopment, despite the loss of the sheep area and other facilities were removed, the farm transformed into a more convenient for staffs. while some facilities remained intact throughout the period.
Focusing on the layout of 1950 first, the highway crossed over top of the farm and surrounded by river. Meanwhile, in the center of the map there was track, which was shaped as triangle and divided to two sides. On left of track, several plants could be seen such as vegetables, soft fruits and fruit trees. Furthermore, Barn, farmhouse and chickens were positioned on the eastern part of map. By contrast, the largest area was occupied by sheep section.
Regarding the today’s layout, the region showed a noticeable alterations, with construction of new sites. The area that previously used for sheep section has been removed and replaced by a camping field and solar panels, while there is parking. Likewise, the former barn has been relocated to the southern part of the map and Holiday cottages been built at same position, while track has been converted into road. Moreover, the farm shop and parking have been added near to the highway. In contrast, other facilities stayed unchanged.
Band 8
The plans illustrate the same site of a farm nowadays and in 1950.
Overall, we can observe significant differences, especially in the North part of the plans. Clearly visible is the implementation of a road instead of a track.
The plan of 1950 demonstrates a huge territory covered with many fields. On the North part, we can see a place for holding sheep. With the duration of time, it became three different sections which include: two parking places on different sides, a camping field, and a territory covered with solar panels. In 1950, there was a barn below the track, which is now holiday cottages. However, another little barn was built in the centre below the new road. The farmhouse and chickens remained sustainable through the years, as did the fields with vegetables, soft fruits, and fruit trees. Another innovation is the farm shop, which was built right on the fruit tree field. The river has not changed at all.
The two diagrams provide information about the alterations that occurred at Beechwood Farm from 1950 to the present day. With labels and pictures, both maps include several man-made features located on the land.
Looking from an overall perspective, it can be observed that the area became much more urbanized with the addition of commercial facilities and new transport infrastructure.
Looking at the details, In the north-western part of the farm underwent noticeable transformation. Moreover, sheep were cleared to make way for several amenities, such as solar panels were installed, camping field was added to cater to more individuals, and car park facilities were incorporated into the farm. Furthermore, new road network was constructed to improve connectivity of each side of the farm. On the other hand, regarding the southern area of the map, vegetables and soft fruits remained unchanged throughout the period, while a new farm shop now occupies a small section of the fruit tree area. In addition, the barn was relocated to the lower section of the farm and downsized, while its original location was taken over by holiday cottages. Meanwhile, the position of the farmhouse and chickens remained constant.
The diagram illustrates the site of Beechwood Farm back in the year 1950 and how it is at the present moment. Overall, the farm has been intensively upgraded from being just a farm in the past to becoming a tourist spot in the present with the installation
of many facilities.
In the past, Beechwood Farm had most of its land utilized for just sheep grazing; however, at the present moment, the land has been converted to a camping field with solar panels for electricity. Furthermore, there are two areas allocated on the west and on the east side of the camping field for parking cars, making it convenient for campers.
Just below the main road, right above the farmhouse, there are holiday cottages built as well, and the barn that used to be there in the 1950s in place of it has been shifted and rebuilt right next to the farmhouse. People have set up a farm shop as well for selling farm products, and most importantly, the track has been upgraded to an actual road now.
The map illustrates the transformation of Beechwood Farm between 1950 and today.
Overall, it is evident that the farm site has now been converted to tourism attractions with the construction of holiday cottages, camping fields, and transport facilities.
In 1950, the northern side of the farm was dedicated to a flock of sheep, which has now been converted to a camping field, with the establishment of solar panels to the north. The old track joining the highway has now been converted to a road, where two parking spots were added at the junction and below the solar panels. The vegetation field on the western side of the farmland, including fruit trees, soft fruits, and vegetables, remained unchanged; however, a new farm shop was built near the highway.
In addition to that, the holiday cottages for tourists replaced the barn on the eastern side, with its relocation at the triangular junction of the road. The farmhouse and chickens on the southeastern side remained unchanged. Furthermore, the river that bordered the farmland on the southern side also remained unchanged.

The maps demonstrate the developments carried out on the Beechwood farm in 1950 and the present.
Overall, the farm site has been developed into a tourist destination while keeping its agricultural values. Mainly, the infrastructure has been improved with camping fields, cottages, along with proper roads and parking facilities, and sustainable energy sources like solar systems have also been introduced into the landscape.
The sheep area in 1950 has been demolished to construct two camping huts with the addition of a new parking slot, while the other half of the land has been used to install new solar panels.
In addition to that, the old barn has been repositioned to build the new holiday cottages, and all the former tracts have been upgraded to proper roads. A farm shop has been opened near the main highway.
However, despite all the above new additions, farm management has tried to maintain the past land for fruit trees, soft fruits, vegetables, and chickens without changes
