The image is a pair of maps contrasting the village of Stokeford in 1930 and 2010. The 1930 map features a main road traversing from the southwest to northeast, with a bridge over a river. Along this road are shops, a post office, a primary school, and a large house surrounded by farmland. Specifically, five houses are positioned close to the shops, two houses near the post office, and a cluster of six houses next to the primary school. Scattered across the bottom half are four additional houses, identified as farmland residences. Conversely, the 2010 map shows the same main road and bridge but exhibits significant change. The shops have been replaced with a solitary house, while the post office persists. The primary school remains, now neighbored by a retirement home. The farmland has been converted entirely into residential space with thirteen new houses. Across the main road, two more houses have been added next to the existing post-office-adjacent homes, and the cluster previously near the primary school has grown by four more houses. The former large house plot has been redeveloped, featuring five new houses. The previous bottom farmland houses are replaced with a row of six new residences. No farmland is evident in 2010, marking a complete transition from agricultural to residential land use.

The two maps illustrate how the village of Stokeford, situated on the east bank of the River Stoke, changed over an 80 year period from 1930 to 2010.
There was considerable development of the settlement over these years and it was gradually transformed from a small rural village into a largely residential area.
The most notable change is the presence of housing in 2010 on the areas that were farmland back in 1930. New roads were constructed on this land and many residential properties built. In response to the considerable increase in population, the primary school was extended to around double the size of the previous building.
Whilst the post office remained as a village amenity, the two shops that can be seen to the north-west of the school in 1930, no longer existed by 2010, having been replaced by houses. There also used to be an extensive property standing in its own large gardens situated to the south-east of the school. At some time between 1930 and 2010, this was extended and converted into a retirement home. This was another significant transformation for the village.
