The maps show the transformation of Stokeford village between 1930 and 2010.
Overall, the elimination of much of the agricultural land has created space for the introduction of extensive housing developments, while some original structures have been retained and repurposed.
In 1930, the village boasted a leafy environment, with open farmland on both sides of the road that crossed through the middle, and a small river that mainly ran along the western side. To the right side of the road was a primary school, and a couple of shops with a post office on the opposite side. Key facilities included accommodations mainly lined along the main road and a large house with its garden at the bottom of the map.
By 2010, Stokeford had undergone significant makeovers. Housing accommodations that were approximately four times more than in the past were built at the expense of the open farmland and shops, and the primary school had been enlarged. Following the introduction of several side streets and a rectangular street pattern on the main road, a new retirement home emerged, resulting in the disappearance of the large house and its garden. Other features, such as the post office and the bridge, remained unchanged throughout the period.
