The maps illustrate the developments that took place in Meadowside and the neighbouring town of Fonton. The maps show the area in three periods: 1962, 1985, and the present.
Overall, both places had large growth and development of buildings and facilities over the period and now have joined into one large area with Meadowside village now being a suburb of the town of Fonton.
In 1962, the towns were completely separated from each other. Meadowside had a road running through it from the southwest to the northeast, while Fonton had a rail line passing through from the southeast to the northwest.
By 1985, both areas had expanded significantly. There was now a road linking the village and the town, while the old road had also been made bigger to match the size of the new one. In Meadowside, a housing estate, a leisure center, and a super-store had been built next to the first road.
Currently, Meadowside and Fonton have joined and the empty area that used to be between them now has a business park to the south of the road and a hotel to the north. Moreover, a train station has been added next to the road with a new line connecting to the old one.
