The two maps show how the outskirts of Fosbury town developed between 1980 and 2015.
Overall, the area underwent significant change with a noticeable increase in commercial and recreational development, whilst the residential areas remain almost unchanged. The most notables shift was the construction of several new facilities along with a major re-design of the road network.
In 1980, the area had a main road leading through it from north to south, along with it was tennis courts, fields, block of flats, grocer’s shop and a hotel. Two housing areas could be found in the northwest and northeast, with a park and a fields both situated opposite to them.
By 2015, much had changed with the expansion of commercial facilities. The terraced houses were relocated to where the park once stood to make way for a car park and a supermarket. Moreover, the fields and tennis courts dissappeared, the area now features a sports centre in the southwest and two ware houses in the southeast. The existing roads in 1980 had been re-designed with the construction of a roundabout. In addition, a new road was created which now links the supermarket with the surrounding road network. Unlike the commercial and infrastructure improvements, the houses remain unchanged.
