The maps provide detailed information about the development of Stokeford village from 1930 to 2010.
Overall, it is evident that there were moderate changes in the village’s structure, particularly regarding the development of houses and the retirement home. It is also noteworthy that the post office and bridge remained largely unchanged throughout this period.
In the early years, the village had a simple layout. There were only three facilities, one of which was a primary school situated next to gardens. The remaining buildings, namely shops and the post office, were located between the river and the road. Additionally, farmland was present in the southwest and northeast areas of the village.
However, after several years, the town underwent modernization with the addition of more public facilities. The farmland and shops were demolished to make way for housing developments. The primary school was expanded with the addition of two new buildings. Furthermore, a large house was converted into a retirement home, while the gardens were removed. Notably, the post office and bridge were left unchanged.
