The map depicts the development of Chorleywood, a

village

near London, from 1868 to 1994, highlighting how the

village

's expansion has been closely linked to the evolution of its transportation network. The growth is shown in four distinct periods, each corresponding with the introduction of key transport infrastructure,

such

as roads, railways, and motorways. During the initial phase from 1868 to 1883, the

village

's development was confined to a small area along the main road in the southwest. As the

village

progressed from 1883 to 1922, it expanded

further

along the main road towards the northeast. The introduction of the railway in 1909 marked a turning point, spurring significant growth between 1922 and 1970, particularly around Chorleywood Station. The final expansion phase, from 1970 to 1994, followed the construction of the motorway in 1970, resulting in new developments both to the northwest and northeast of the

village

. In conclusion, Chorleywood's development over the years has been significantly shaped by the establishment of transportation links. Each major infrastructure addition facilitated the

village

's outward growth, transforming it from a small settlement into a more extensive community.
