The maps show the outskirts of Fosbury in 1980 and 2015

Question

The maps illustrate the development in the outskirts of the town of Fosbury from 1980 to 2015. 

Generally speaking, the changes show the improvement of this area from a residential to a more industrial region during 35 years. 

As we can see, the most remarkable alternation is the addition of a traffic roundabout in the centre of the suburb which replaced a block of flats and Gorce’s Shop. Yet, houses and a hotel in the Northside remained in the same location in 2015 as in 1980. 

            In the East, terraced houses were displaced to the opposite side, where a public garden was located, then a car park and a supermarket were constructed instead. The vacant land beside the old park in 1980 was changed to a new park. 

            In the West, one tennis court was modernized to become a sports centre and a car park was substituted for the other. Besides, a large field was superseded by warehouses.
