The given maps illustrate the transformation of a village section between 1910 and 2010.
In general, except for the school and post office, all buildings were replaced for other demands. Additionally, while most land was used for planting trees in 1910, this area then turned into residential complexes after a century..
By 1910, Shalton was situated over 3 main roads: School Road, London Road and Hight Street, which formed a triangle in the center of the village. Located in the middle of the triangle, a large house was surrounded by several trees. Behind the trees, there was a house which was situated between the grocer and baker. On the right-hand side of the triangle, a post office existed, whereas there were a school, a butcher and a house at the other side. Three remaining houses were positioned to the south at High street.
After a 100-year period, the section witnessed substantial alterations, except for the school and post office. While more features like the bank, supermarket and parking are added on the western side, the only construction in the triangle was the cafe. In addition, more trees were cut down in order to make space for the accommodation. Moving to the London Road, a new branch leading to the residential areas in the triangle was constructed Notably, more and more lodgings were installed on the south of High street and to the left-hand side of the London road for the purpose of residence.
