The maps compare the layout of Winsbury Village in 1850 and 1950.
Overall, it can be seen that the village underwent significant modernisation over the 100-year period. Several new facilities were introduced by 1950, including a glassware factory, a railway line and additional residential buildings. In addition, the woodland areas were reduced, while the market square was replaced by roads. The River Arlon remained in the southern part of the village.
In 1850, Winsbury Village had a number of trees in the northern and western areas. Harwood House was situated in the eastern part of the village, whereas Spurlon Farm was located to the north-east. Moreover, several green fields were spread across the western side, with a few houses built along the roads. The church was located near the centre of the village, adjacent to the market square. The River Arlon flowed through the southern part of the area.
By 1950, the village had undergone considerable changes. The trees on the western side had been replaced by a glassware factory. The church remained in its original location, whereas Spurlon Farm had been converted into a residential area. Similarly, Harwood House had been transformed into a hotel. The market square had disappeared, and a railway line had been constructed across the village. Furthermore, several houses had been built in the south-western area, while additional residential buildings had appeared in the eastern part. A bridge was also constructed across the River Arlon.
