The maps show the changes of the town Dartford in 1995 and now. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two maps display the difference between the Downford town in 1995 and the present. Overall, this period has experienced dramatic developments that make this town surprisingly unrecognizable. The most noticeable change is that the farmland and the forest park located in the north-east and east of the town have been knocked down to make way for the gold and tennis courts. Another difference we can notice is the expansion of the residential area. Therefore, the road across this area has also been lengthened. Turning to the southern area, the demolishment of the fishing port is the most significant change. As the result of that removal, all the shops and the fish market lying near the seaside have been replaced by a new restaurant and some apartments. There is also a new car park constructed next to the hotel. To conclude, since 1995, it is clear that Dartford, from a fishing village has turned into an entertainment destination.
