The maps illustrate the transformation of a village from 2000 to the present. Overall, while the village now provides significantly more housing, the number of facilities has noticeably decreased. A defining feature of the village remains its division into two sections by a main street.
In 2000, residential development was limited, with houses primarily clustered along a short side road in the western area. This road has since been extended into a curved layout, flanked by additional houses on both sides. Furthermore, the farmland situated to the east of the village has been replaced with a new residential area, centered around a newly constructed road featuring a roundabout.
In contrast to the expansion of housing, several key amenities that once served the community have been removed. For example, the restaurant and hotel located to the north of the main street in 2000 are no longer in operation. Similarly, the pub and shoe factory to the south, along with the shops in the northeast corner, have been demolished or repurposed. However, a new playground has been established just below the site previously occupied by the shoe factory, offering a recreational space for residents.
In summary, the village has undergone significant residential growth at the expense of its commercial and leisure facilities, reflecting a shift in its focus from amenities to accommodation.
