The three maps demonstrate the transformation that have occurred at West Park Secondary School since its completion in 1950.
Overall, it is clear that West Park Secondary School developed from a poor-quality school to a school with full infrastructure for students.
To begin with, in 1980, the most striking feature is that a new car park and science block was built and replaced the houses in the top left-hand corner of school. Moreover, the old school was refurbished and made into a main building, in addition to the conversion of the farmland into a sports field.
Turning to the year 2010, West Park Secondary School went through some substantial changes, including the extension of the car park to demolish the sports field.
