The two maps illustrate the developments in the town of Felixstone in the UK between 1967 and 2001.
Overall, Felixstone experienced significant changes over the 34-year period, with many recreational and residential facilities added, especially along the coastline. Farmland and some older features were replaced by modern infrastructure such as apartments and sports facilities.
In 1967, Felixstone had a golf course in the northwest and a large area of farmland to the northeast. Along the coast, there were sand dunes, a hotel, a café, and a fish market near the marina and pier. The town center contained rows of shops lining the high street.
By 2001, the farmland had been replaced by a hotel, swimming pool, and tennis courts, while new apartment buildings were constructed along the high street. The fish market and marina were removed, and a private beach was introduced in their place. Additionally, a car park was built next to the hotel near the dunes, and wind turbines were installed in the southwest. The pier and café remained unchanged, and the public beach area was clearly marked.
