Provided maps represent the facilities’ location in 1900 and 1935 in the town of Poulton. The difference between given periods of time is undoubtedly significant.
Overall, it is evident that multiple alterations were implemented to improve the town’s state. One of the most outstanding new features of Poulton is that the railway line was demolished and the separation between Trent and Bayleys streets was flattened.
In 1900, the main occupation of the town was held by private properties. The least notable part of the town was dedicated to facilities such as shops, laundry, cafe and factory. Moreover, huge terrain of Poulton was non-occupied, leaving the area useless.
In 1935, a great deal of improvements was implemented, featuring a brand-new park, play area, mansions and the demolition of the separation between two streets. Terraced houses were altered as flats. Immense part of wasteland and entire factory were modernised into Bayley Mansions. Furthermore, the amount of shops increased, reaching a total of 3. Nevertheless, additional street was developed right at the end of Bayley street, along the shops.
