The map illustrates the growth of a village named

Chorleywood

from 1868 to 1994. Over the 126-year period, it is evident that

this

village expanded significantly.

Additionally

, the variety of transportation options available to local residents increased, which

further

facilitated its growth. From 1868 to 1883,

Chorleywood

initially

occupied only a small area adjacent to one of the main roads. Directly across from

this

early settlement was the

Chorleywood

Park and Golf Course.

However

, between 1883 and 1992, the community began to expand southwest along the main road. The construction of a west-east railway in 1909,

along with

the establishment of

Chorleywood

station, played a crucial role in driving

further

expansion, particularly to the south side of the railway tracks. In the following decades, specifically from 1970 to 1994, a north-south motorway was constructed to the east, encouraging

further

development in that direction.

As a result

, five new developments emerged, strategically located at the intersections of the main road with the motorway, and where the railway crossed the motorway.

This

enhanced network of transportation options undoubtedly contributed to the continued growth and development of

Chorleywood

.
