The maps below show part of a village in 1910, and the same part of that village in 2010.

The maps illustrate how Shalton

Village

changed from 1990 to 2010. In 1990, there was a

School

Road

presenting from northeast to southwest and a London

Road

from northwest to southeast and at the intersection of the

two

roads

was a post office. A High Street occupied the south of the

village

, crossing with the above

two

roads

.

Two

houses

were located beside the

road

, where the traffic was convenient. A large house surrounded by trees stood in the middle of the three

roads

and in the

two

corners were respectively a grocer and a baker.

However

, the

village

altered significantly after

two

decades,

in particular

the

houses

. The original

two

houses

in the south of the

village

were rebuilt into four smaller ones beside the High Street. More new

houses

were developed beside the

two

sides of London

Roads

. The grocer in the cross of

School

Road

and High Street had gone and in its place was a cafe. The

school

in the south corner of the

village

had remained the same, but the butcher on the left of the

School

Road

was replaced by a new Supermarket and a Parking. A new bank was constructed opposite the previous post office.

Overall

, the

village

still possessed many former elements, including three main

roads

, some

houses

, a

school

and a post office

while

some new facilities appeared, a cafe and a bank

for example

.
