The two maps illustrate the layout of Stokeford village between 1930 and 2010. Overall, the village underwent significant urban development throughout the period, increasing its residential capacity and replacing farmlands and gardens.
In 1930, Stokeford village, with River Stoke stretching from southwest to northwest, was a sparsely populated area surrounded by vast farmlands in the southern and northern parts. There used to be a few houses, shops, a post office, a primary school, and gardens on both sides of the main road running alongside the village.
By 2010, the farmlands had been cleared to make more space for new dwellings. The shops were redeveloped as houses, and several residential roads were constructed branching off the main road. Another key change took place in the area previously occupied by the gardens and a large house in the southeast of Stokeford. After reconstruction, it transformed into a retirement home. The primary school, to the north of the former gardens, was expanded to meet the needs of the growing population. The post office, opposite the primary school, and the bridge connecting the two sides in the north remained unchanged.
