The maps illustrate the changes that took place in a small village in the west of Ireland between 2000 and the present day.
Overall, the village has become more developed over the period. There are more houses and facilities now, while the farmland, market, and dock have disappeared.
In 2000, the village was a small area with a housing estate in the centre, a shop in the southwest, and a hotel in the southeast. There was also farmland in the northwest. Along the river, there was a market and a dock for boats.
At present, the village has expanded significantly. The farmland has been replaced by a park, and many new houses have been built both in the centre and in the northeast. The market and dock no longer exist, and several restaurants have been constructed near the river instead. In addition, a car park has been added next to the hotel, while the shop has remained in the same location.
