The two maps below show the changes that have taken place in the town of Westley since 1815.

These two maps illustrate the extent to which Westley has changed over two centuries to become a more modern and built-up town.

Firstly

,

it is clear that

the transport system has been moderately modified.

For instance

, a new railway line has been built

instead

of Toll Bridge that linked to London. Another noticeable change is the disappearance of green spaces.

For example

, in 1815 there were many fields , that have been cut down now. Today there are modern facilities like railway stations and cinemas.

Besides

Lenton Woods

also

have been cut down the Lenton Housing Estate and museums have been built.

Finally

, other buildings were transformed into more modern facilities. The church and coach inn have been demolished and the sports centre,and a shopping centre built.

In addition

, houses transformed into residential areas and Lord's house into a pub and hotel.

Overall

, it can be seen that the town greatly modernised and there are areas that had considerable urbanisation. Most of the buildings are different but the town hall and market square are still the same.
