The maps illustrate how the Shalton village has changed over a century. It has gone through dramatic changes over the period, with the school, post office and the roads being the only features remaining the same.
In 1910, there was a large house surrounded by many trees in the triangle centre, with an another smaller house below it, which was situated between grocery store and bakery. The village had other two houses, which stood on the lower side of High street. A school and a butcher were located next to each other along the School road. Post office was situated on the edge of the School and London roads.
Today, there are notable changes: the old large house and trees around it have been replaced with new houses and a new road has been added, making a way for them. Another house below it was converted to smaller one and the grocery shop on the left has developed into cafe. Meanwhile, the bakery on the right has been replaced with a large house. The High Street expanded by constructing two more smaller houses. The school remained the same and supermarket was built with a parking area along School Road. The butcher, which was beside the school was demolished and reconstructed to a bank. The post office still remained on the northeast along the original London Road. Today, the road was extended by adding four new small houses.
