The provided maps illustrate the changes in the town of Denham between 1986 and 2016.
Overall, it is apparent that the town has become more urbanized, with an increase in residential areas and new facilities replacing farmland and gardens.
In 1986, there were two shops adjacent to the post office. To the left of the shops, there were three houses, and to the right, there were two. A bridge in the northeast of the town spanned the River Stoke. The amount of farmland was considerable, with large areas in both the north and south. Near the post office, a primary school was situated with a few houses nearby. In the center of the town, there was a garden containing a large house.
By 2016, the town had undergone significant redevelopment. The shops and gardens were replaced with more houses. While the post office remained in its original location, the farmlands were demolished and converted into residential areas. Two new buildings were erected near the primary school. Houses were built along the main road, which had been expanded with additional paths. Additionally, a retirement home was constructed in the southern part of the town, providing modern facilities for the residents.
