The two maps show part of Shalton village in 1910 and the same area in 2010. Overall, the village changed significantly over the 100 years, with more houses built and some old buildings replaced or removed.
Looking at the illustration, the village became more modern and residential over time, with fewer small shops and more houses. Additionally, this suggests that the population of the area likely increased and the lifestyle changed.
In 1910, there were fewer buildings. The key facilities included a school, a butcher, a grocer, a baker, and a post office. There was also a large house with some trees near it. Houses were only located along the main roads.
By 2010, the area had developed more. The butcher and grocer were replaced by a supermarket, and the baker was removed. A café was added near the school. The large house and the trees were gone, and in their place, many new houses were built. More houses also appeared along London Road and High Street.
