The maps illustrate the current and previous center of a town, comparing its layouts in 1865 with how they appeared in 2015.
Overall, the town center appears to have a development in the modern area with improved transportation. Significant development is shown on the west part of the town.
In the east side of the town, the bank and the post office are replaced by a large train station, with these two having been moved to the other side of High St. , where a market used to be in the 1865. Crossing the High Street, right after Brassey and Edge Road, houses and a small school were shown on the map of 1865, but in 2015 they all are replaced by a bus station and a leisure center on the North side of High Street, while on the South side the school became bigger so it has expanded the entire block.
In the west side of the town, the existence of the river and farm is invisible, while a boating lake was created and a park by the side. Also, two new streets have appeared that separate the west side in 4 parts, where the town is in the same location with a travel agent next to it and across the street there is a huge supermarket next to a dentist’s and a doctor’s offices.
