The illustration shown demonstrates the changes made to Shalton village over a century between 1910 and 2010.
Overall, this region has undergone significant transformations, most notably the introduction of numerous houses and state-of-the-art facilities. These changes render this area a more densely populated and convenient residence.
Looking first at the layout in 1910, what immediately stands out is the triangular-shaped road system in this village, formed by three main roads crossing each other, namely School Road on the left, London Road on the right, and High Street at the bottom. In the central areas bounded by these paths were a large house, with nearby trees, accompanied by a grocer and a baker, and a house. Along the school Road lay a school, a butcher, and a horse, whereas facilities ịn London Road remained sparse, with only a post office found on the northern end of this road. In addition, there were also several houses on the right side of High Street.
A century later, this place witnessed remarkable transformations. In the central place, all the former facilities were demolished to establish a residential area accessible via a path branched off from London Road, with many houses being built, along with a new cafe. The housing construction also expanded to areas along London Road and High Street. Notably, while the school remained unchanged on School Road, the space, once occupied by the butcher and the adjacent house, was subsequently taken over by a parking lot, a bank, and a supermarket.
