The map gives information about the layout of Shalton village in 1910 and 2010. Overall, it is clear that the village, which used to be a green place with few houses in 1910, is now converted into a residential area with more amenities and cottages. Moreover, new facilities and accommodations are added by clearing out the trees that existed at the corner.
In detail, at School Road, there were three buildings: a school, a butcher’s shop and a house. After renovation, the butcher and house were transformed into a supermarket and parking zone creating a new building and bank respectively, while school remained in the same location. Free space with some construction – post office – at London Road was then filled with residential houses which are densely located today.
Looking at the center of the corner, a large house, a bakery and grocery shop were replaced by many small houses and a cafe. Greenery space, that was covered with trees, vanished and there is not a single plant in 2010, today. The line of two houses alongside High Sreet has now doubled.
