The maps give information about how West Park Secondary School has been modified in two periods since it was built in 1950.
Overall, the school’s main building and playground have not undergone significant changes, while the surrounding areas have been developed over the given period.
The West Park Secondary School has been accessible directly from the main road throughout the period. In 1950, when the school was constructed, houses were located on the left side of the school. The bottom-left area was used as farmland, whereas a playground was placed under the school. In the next thirty years, the houses were replaced by a science block and a car park, and the farmland was repurposed into a sports field.
By 2010, the car park was considerably expanded, replacing the former sports field. Meanwhile, a sports field was relocated near the playground, which was reduced in size. Over the given period, the school’s main building has not experienced any changes.
