The illustrations shown demonstrate how the town of Brinell and its surrounding areas changed in 1800, 1900, and 2000.
Overall, this area underwent significant modifications, mainly through land reclamation over two centuries, making space for the expansion of Brindell town, industrialization in Bun Hill, and the construction of a park in the woodland area. Meanwhile, space devoted to farmland shrank over this period.
In 1800, this area remained mostly natural. In the center of the layout was the river Stour, with four main primary areas situated on its banks. The northern bank featured farmland in the west and woodland in the east, while Brindell Town and another farmland were located on the opposite bank, with Brindell Town in the southwestern corner.
In 1900, the majority of this area remained untouched, except for the southwestern corner. This place, once occupied by farmland a century ago, was replaced by Bun Hill, a village for workers who were employed in several nearby industries.
In 2000, major changes were observed in this area. Notably, the land was expanded toward the riverside, enlarging the width of Brindell town and making space for the introduction of the Bun Hill park, bounded by woodland. Likewise, the Bun Hill was also expanded northward, accompanied by an increased number of industries. In contrast, the farming-devoted region and the river Stout were reduced in size.
