The maps show the town of Stokeford in 1930 and 2010. Write a report of at least 150 words, summarizing the main feature and making comparison where relevant.

The

two

maps illustrate how the Stokeford city changes between 1930 and 2010. It can be seen clearly that the main point of the city was the transformation from rural to urban areas,

along with

the increased infrastructure and the disappearance of farmland. In the year 1930, the town was a farmland area with a large number of livestock located both in the southwest and the northeast. There were

two

shops and a post office in the west, with a primary school just on the east of the road,

also

an individual big house with gardens between in north and south of the area. During the next 80 years, the town saw a number of significant changes. The most noticeable is that all of the farmland areas were transformed into a housing area, where the

two

shops were demolished and several houses were built

along with

two

connecting roads in the northwest and northeast.

Moreover

, the large house and the gardens were knocked down and several retirement houses were built in 2010.

In contrast

, only the bridge, the post office, and the river of Stoke remained in the exact same condition during the period of 80 years,

although

the primary school was added with

two

retirement houses in 2010.
