The diagrams depict the evolution of West Park Secondary School from its inception in 1950 to the alterations observed in 2010.
Overall, the maps illustrate a significant transformation in the land use surrounding the school, particularly emphasizing the emergence of educational and recreational facilities while some areas have been repurposed.
In 1950, the layout of the area featured residential houses situated to the west of the main road, complemented by farmland and a playground located to the east, adjacent to the school. The school itself occupied a prominent position on the eastern side. This arrangement highlighted the integration of educational and green spaces within a largely residential and agricultural setting.
By 1980, there was a marked shift in land use, as the residential houses were replaced by a car park and a science block, thus enhancing the school’s facilities. Additionally, the removal of farmland resulted in the establishment of a sports field, while the playground remained unchanged. By 2010, the school underwent further development, as the science block was amalgamated with the school building, reflecting a trend towards modernization. The sport field was resized amid the newly designed layout, with the playground continuing to exist. Notably, the extensive parking area had expanded alongside the main road, while the fundamental structure of the main road itself remained intact throughout these years.
