The diagrams illustrate how the layout of Beechwood Farm has been transformed from 1950 to today.
Overall, it is evident that the farmland has undergone radical modifications, including the addition of several infrastructures, a redevelopment of the farm estate, and the recreation of commutable paths. The exceptions left intact will be the main road on the top left of the farm, which crosses a river.
In the past, there was a track running from the main road to the eastern part of the farm, which divided the area into two sides. The northern site was particularly a pasture for sheep, while the southern ones had separate planting fields for fruit trees, soft fruits, and vegetables on the left. Besides, a barn, a farmhouse, and an area for chickens were situated in the southeast of the land.
At present, the track is converted to a road that makes way for vehicles to easily access the farmland, followed by the addition of parking lots and a farm shop at each end of the road. The barn is moved to the middle of the road, and the original site of the barn is used for holiday cottages. Furthermore, a camping field and solar panels have been newly added at the expense of the sheep grazing zone. Meanwhile, the farmhouse and chicken area remain unchanged.
