The diagrams illustrate the transformation of a part of Shalton village between 1910 and 2010.
Overall, the area experienced significant changes, including the expansion of residential housing and commercial facilities, while some older establishments were replaced or repurposed.
One notable change is the development along School Road, where a supermarket, a parking lot, and a bank were introduced, replacing the former butcher’s shop. However, the school remained unchanged. Meanwhile, the post office on London Road was retained, but several new houses were built around it, indicating a rise in residential areas.
In the central part of the village, the large house and surrounding trees were replaced by multiple smaller houses, increasing the number of residences. Additionally, the grocer’s shop was converted into a café, while the bakery was removed.
Along High Street, more houses were built, replacing some of the previous open spaces. These developments reflect a shift towards a more urbanized and populated village over the century.
