The maps illustrate how the layout of Shalton village changed between 1910 and 2010. Overall, the village witnessed a dramatic transformation over the period shown, becoming noticeably less green and more modern due to the construction of a supermarket, a bank, and new houses. However, some key features remained unchanged.
In 1910, Shalton was a simpler village, with only a few buildings. The northwest side of the village was occupied by a butcher’s shop, while the post office was located in the northeast. At the centre of the village, there was a large house surrounded by trees. The southwest area contained a school. The bakery and grocery store were situated near the centre.
By 2010, Shalton village had undergone extensive development. One notable change was that the large house had been replaced by several smaller houses, which could be accessed via London Road. Another change was the addition of new houses in the east and south. The former grocery store was converted into a café, while a parking area and a supermarket were constructed in the west of the village. Despite these changes, certain features, such as the post office and the school, remained untouched.
