The given picture the way in which a town named Willington was constructed and developed for urbanizable purposes in 1780, 1860, and 2000.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that some old features were still there, such as the windmill and bridge, whereas others such as farm had all gone. Additionally, over the span of two centuries, the town had undergone dramatic transformation with several large changes including infrastructure, housing areas, and amenities.
In 1780, Willington comprised four square housing blocks in west near the bank of the river. In the southeast, the town was surrounded by woodland, which contained about 100 homes scattered throughout. In the northeast, there were two windmill, and at this time no bridge linked the bank of the river.
By 1860, a third windmill had been built in the northeast. The number of houses increased by around 100, and half of the original four housing blocks replaced by new homes. A bridge was erected across the river, and the road network was extended northeastwards.
By 2000, residential development had surged to approximately 500 homes in the northeast. A dam appeared at the river mouth, and a wetland was created in the southwest. Sports fields and schools were laid out in the former woodland in the southeast.
