The two maps illustrate how the village of Rye mouth has changed between 1995 and the present.
Overall, the area has undergone significant development, with the replacement of several facilities such as the fish market and farmland, and the addition of new residential and commercial buildings. The western part near the sea remained mainly unchanged.
In 1995, the western part of the village included a fishing port, a fish market, and shops along the main road. By the present day, both the fish market and fishing port have been removed, and the shops have been replaced with restaurants. The hotel near the main road remained, but a car park has been added next to it. The café near the sea has stayed the same.
To the east of the main road, the housing area has remained largely unchanged, but the farmland and forest park have been replaced with a golf course and tennis courts. In addition, several apartments have been built south of the new restaurants. This reflects a shift toward tourism and leisure facilities in the village.
