The map above illustrates the development of Chorleywood village from 1868 to 1994.
In 1868, the village already had two main roads. One ran along the western side of the village, and the other ran along the northern side. By 1883, the population grew in the eastern part of the village, situated to the east of the main road. In 1909, a railway station was established in the southern part of the village, passing through the main road and extending into the southwest area, which was still under development.
Between 1922 and 1970, two areas of expansion emerged south of the railway. One development was to the west of the main road, while the other was located to the east. By the end of the 1970s, a motorway was constructed to the east of the village, crossing both the railway and the northern main road. From 1970 to 1994, five new areas were developed along the motorway. Chorleywood Park and the golf course are located in the village center.
In conclusion, Chorleywood experienced consistent growth over the years, marked by the development of key transportation infrastructure, including the motorway and railway. This gradual expansion reflects the village’s ongoing urbanization and improved accessibility.
