The maps compare the layout of a part of Shalton village in two years: 1910 and 2010. Overall, the school, post office, and a few houses on High Street remained completely unchanged, while a number of new facilities and accommodations were added by clearing out the trees that existed at the center.
On the west side of the 1910-year village layout, the school road gave access to three buildings: the school, butcher, and house. After renovation, the butcher adjacent to the school—one of the buildings remained intact—was removed entirely to make way to a supermarket and parking, with a narrow road facilitating access to them from the road. The house on the north was replaced by a bank facing London Road, where four houses were built and the post office stayed unchanged.
The central area of the layout was in the middle of the streets, including a large house covered by trees, a grocery store, an apartment block, and a baker near High Street. A century later, spacious housing and trees were turned into small houses, with an additional small road passing through them. A new café and house were introduced in the places of the grocer and baker on High Street. The new apartments were added to the left side of the street, making the village more residential.
