The maps below show how the town of Harborne changes from 1936 to 2007. 3NRY
The illustrations show the changes that take place in Harborne over a 72-year period from 1936 to 2007. The basic structure of the town is four roads that connect to a central shopping area. In 1936 the north-west quadrant had three trees, but by 2007 only one tree remained. Directly below this was a path for cyclists which was then widened into a road. To its right, and across the north-south were government offices and farm land. These had both gone by the 21st century. The offices had been converted into a museum and a golf course had been established in the place of the farm. The river, which originally existed to the right of the trees, had become a residential area. The post office, bank and library in the central part of the town were left unchanged but the original flower shop closed and was reopened as a travel agent. In addition, the sweet shop and butchers were knocked into one and a supermarket opened in their place. The garden area in the middle became a shopping centre.
