The maps illustrate how the outskirts of the town of Fosbury changed between 1980 and 2015.
Overall, the area experienced significant development over the 35-year period. While it was mainly residential and recreational in 1980, it became more commercial and transport-oriented by 2015, with the addition of large facilities and improved road infrastructure.
In 1980, the outskirts of Fosbury consisted largely of houses in the north, along with a hotel and a small grocery shop. There was also a block of flats and a row of terraced houses. Recreational areas were prominent, including a park, tennis courts, and large open fields to the south and east. The road system was relatively simple, with no major intersections.
By 2015, several notable changes had taken place. The open fields and tennis courts were replaced by a sports centre, warehouses, and multiple car parks. A large supermarket was built near the hotel, indicating increased commercial activity. In addition, the road network was upgraded with the construction of a roundabout, improving traffic flow. Although the residential houses and the park remained, the area became more developed and less open compared to 1980.
