The provided pictures showcase some transformation of a part of Shalton village between 1910 and 2010.
Overall, the village underwent several radical changes especially with regards to the construction of more residential areas and buildings and also the expansion of new roads.
As can be seen from the map, in 1910 there was a large house located in the center of Shalton village, which was surrounded by various trees. However, in 2010, these trees were chopped down to make way for the erection of many houses, with a curved path leading to the London road. Moreover, the grocer in 1910 was converted to the area for a cafe to cater for entertainment and relaxation. The bakery was demolished to have room for the construction of houses, which were near to the cafe.
Looking at these maps in more details, outside the village, the butcher located opposite to the School road was transformed into a supermarket which was in the proximity of parking, being connected directly to that road. A house to the north, near the school road in 1910 was turned into a bank. Furthermore, new housing developments were built to the north and east, nearly doubling the number of houses from 1910. Meanwhile, the location of school and post office remained unchanged during the examined period.
