The maps provide a general description of alternative tendencies that occurred in Westley from 1815 up to now, including both natural and artificial bases. Overall, there were fewer spaces for forests and agriculture, making room for housing and other residential facilities necessary for the locals.
On the north part of the town, the Twine Toll Bridge across the river heading to London was replaced by a newly-constructed railway, connecting the north and south areas; as a result, farmers’ fields were flattened to build the Main Railway Station. Besides the Tinton village on the top-right corner, Lord Westley’s House has now been knocked down, and reconstructed with two separate buildings named The Red Lion and Lenton Hotel, respectively.
As perceived in the map, compared to the figure in 1815, the main road from the Tinton village has been expanded, directly stopping at the significantly widened shopping, business, and residential area in the south part. A cinema was also constructed, next to the unchanged Market Square and Town Hall. On the left side of Lake Lenton, trees in the forests were cut down to clear the way for Lenton Housing Estate. Some entertainment and religious facilities, such as the Coach Inn and Church, have been removed, instead, there is a west shopping center, a museum, and a sports center for various purposes.
