The maps below show the village of Stokeford in 1930 and 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The two maps illustrate how the
village
of Stokeford, situated on the east bank of the River Stoke, changed over an 80-year period from 1930 to 2010.
There was considerable development of the settlement over these years and it was gradually transformed from a small rural village
into a largely residential area.
The most notable change is the presence of housing in 2010 in the areas that were farmland back in 1930. New roads were constructed on this
land and many residential properties were built. In response to the considerable increase in population, the primary school was extended to around double the size of the previous building.
Whilst the post office remained as a village
amenity, the two shops that can be seen to the north-west of the school in 1930, no longer existed by 2010, having been replaced by houses. There also
used to be an extensive property standing in its own large gardens situated to the south-east of the school. At some time between 1930 and 2010, this
was extended and converted into a retirement home. This
was another significant transformation for the village
