The two maps illustrate how part of Shalton village changed over a century, from 1910 to 2010.
Overall, the area underwent significant urban development, with traditional local shops and green space being replaced by modern facilities and residential housing. While some structures, such as the post office, remained unchanged, most of the original buildings were removed or repurposed.
In 1910, the village featured a few small businesses, including a grocer, a butcher, and a baker, situated along High Street and School Road. A large house and several trees occupied the central part of the area. The school was located to the west, and a post office stood further north on London Road. Only a few individual houses were scattered across the area.
By 2010, major transformations had occurred. The grocer and baker were removed and replaced by a café, while the butcher was replaced by a supermarket and a parking lot. A bank was also built next to these new facilities. The large house and trees in the central area were cleared to make way for several new houses, significantly increasing residential density. Despite all these changes, the post office remained in its original location, and the school continued to operate, though its structure appears modernized.
