These two maps present a comparison of the Barmouth

area

prior to and post changes for stopping vehicles from entering the old town in 1936 and 2007. In brief, there were some modifications in the public

facilities

area

and residential

area

. Years ago, in 1936, in the middle of the Barmouth

area

, there were some public

facilities

such

as post offices, sweet shops, butchers, flower shops, banks, and libraries. The roads were built from the north, east, south, and west towards the centre of the town. In the southeast

area

, there were Government Offices and Farm Land.

Then

, on the opposite of the road (on the west), there was a cycle path. A lot of trees were planted in the northwest

area

. And on the northeast, there was a river.

While

, in 2007, there was some development in the areas to prevent cars from entering the old town. The public

facilities

were changed, the sweet shops and butchers were changed to Supermarkets,

as well as

the flower shop became a travel agent. A shopping centre was built in the middle of the public

facilities

.

In contrast

, the previous cycle path was set up to roads. The museum and Golf Course were constructed on the previous Government Office and farmland in the southeast

area

.

On the other hand

, the northeast

area

had become a housing

area

.

Finally

, in 2007 only a tree was planted in the northwest

area

.
