The maps below illustrate the changes made to the layout of the Shalton village from 1910 to 2010.
Overall, the village has undergone a significant modernization with the erection of several new infrastructures.
With regard to the Shalton village in 1910, it can be observed that the large house, surrounded by green trees, was positioned centrally. In the southern part of the central house were a grocery store and a bakery, which were right adjacent to the high street. What is more, on the right-hand side were a school and a butcher, located directly alongside the school road. Notably, residential areas in 1910 were severely limited, with only a few houses built.
In 2010, there was a removal of several green trees and the large house to make space for additional housing. Moreover, while the grocery store was replaced with a cafe, the bakery was concerted into a house. In the western part of the village, the butcher disappeared, replaced by a supermaket and a parking lot, while a house at the top was converted into a bank. Ultimately, while a school and a post office remained intact, several new houses were added right next to the London road.
