The two diagrams illustrate the transformation of the town Langley from 1910 to 1950.
Overall, the town had undergone significant alterations with the removal of several facilities and introduction of new ones. The town expanded its green spaces.
Looking at the map of town in 1910, the town was a much residential area with the large number of individual houses. However, after forty years all of individual houses were demolished: the houses to the south of the Jordan street were replaced with flats, whereas Sherman mansions were introduced in the northern part of the town by the removal of factory.
Cancelation of wasteland led to relocation of laundry and cafe to the north, making space for the new store buildings and New Lane to the east of them. The most remarkable change was erection of Sherman Park in the center of the town with a lake and trees. A new Children’s play area was also added in the park. Railway lane was removed.
