The provided maps illustrate the changes in Felixstowe, a British seaside town, at two specific points in time: 1967 and 2001.
Overall, while some vegetation was lost, the number of facilities and the town’s population increased over the 34-year period.
According to the maps, certain features remained unchanged between the two years, including the golf course in the northwest, the roads and dunes in front of the golf course, the cafe on the beach, and the areas to the south of the town. Additionally, the number of shops adjacent to the golf course and the presence of plants near the dunes improved by 2001.
Furthermore, the hotel that existed in 1967 remained in the same location in 2001, but it was expanded to include a new car park.
The maps also indicate that by 2001, the old farmland and shops in the northeast had been replaced by a new hotel featuring a swimming pool and two tennis courts, as well as apartment buildings. In addition, the former fish markets, marina, and pier were transformed into private and public beaches. Lastly, some wind turbines were installed at the base of the dunes in 2001.
