The two maps illustrate how Shalton village changed over a century, from 1910 to 2010.
Overall, the village underwent significant changes, with the most notable being the replacement of traditional amenities with more modern ones and the expansion of residential areas.
A striking feature of the village was that at its heart was a triangular area enclosed by School Road to the west, London Road to the east, and High Street to the south. In 1910, there was a large house in the upper part, which was surrounded by many trees, while the lower part contained a grocer, a house, and a baker, from west to east, respectively. By 2010, a side road was constructed in the northeast part of the area, branching off London Road and lined with five houses. Meanwhile, a coffee shop and a new house replaced the former grocer and baker in the respective positions.
In the northeast part of the village, there was a post office, which retained its original position, at the corner of London Road, whereas a new row of houses was built along this road in 2010. Residential development was also evident in the area south of High Street, where two houses were replaced by four new ones. Furthermore, a school which remained unchanged was situated at the junction of High Street and School Road. Along School Road, a parking area and a supermarket were constructed on the site of the former butcher, while a new bank replaced the former house.
