The given maps delineate changes made to part of Shalton village in 2010 in comparison the 1910’s version of its own.
Overall, it is apparent that while the layout, along with streets’ names, remained unchanged, more facilities and houses were constructed in this part of Shalton village over the one-century period.
Taking a closer look at the central part of the area shaped like a triangle, one can see that a large house and trees in its surrounding were demolished to make room for multiple houses. In addition, a café replaced a grocer in the left corner of the triangle. Likewise, a baker located right by the intersection between High Street and London Road was superseded by a house. It is also worth noticing a new entrance leading from London Road to the central area in the 2010’s version.
With regard to the Western part of the maps, on School Road, the school went through no changes. In contrast, the same space once occupied for a butcher adjacent to the school and a house situated to its right witnessed the construction of a parking lot, a bank, along with a supermarket nestled behind the parking lot after after 100 years.
Furthermore, the southern and eastern parts of the region underwent little alteration. The appearance of more houses on High Street and London Road was the only change made to the areas. The post office located at the intersection between School Road and London Road remained the same through out the 100-year period.
