Exercise 7 - page 61

The maps depict an area of the town of Poulton in the years 1900 and 1935 and the urban developments that took place. (1) Overall, there were a number of notable changes to the buildings and amenities of this area.

In 1900, this area had a combination of residential and industrial features, but by 1935 the industrial features had largely disappeared. (2) Whereas in 1900 a railway line ran through the neighbourhood, by 1935 this had been removed. (3) Furthermore, the terraced houses which used to dominate the 1900 map had been replaced by blocks of flats by 1935, and the areas of wasteland had gone.

(4) Another major change to the area in 1935 was the development of more commercial and recreational features. The demolition of a second row of houses on Bayley Street and the removal of the railway line made room for a spacious park and children’s play area. (5) On the commercial side, to the right of the park some new shops were built on the aptly named New Lane, replacing the small shop of 1900, and the café and laundry were relocated and expanded.

(6) To sum up, the area was renovated extensively, seeing fundamental changes to its residential accommodation, and its commercial and recreational facilities were developed.

Write down the outline for:

The most striking alteration is to the hotel's capacity, with an increase in the number of rooms, and in particular the construction of an extra storey above the initial row of rooms. Another significant change is the relocation of various facilities. By 2013, the swimming pool and restaurant had been moved and its seating area had been enlarged.

Recreation had more prominence by 2013. This can be seen in the fact that the 2013 pool is considerably larger than ten years previously and a water sports centre had been built on the beach in front of the hotel. On top of this, the fence which

divided the hotel from the beach had been removed by 2013,

allowing free access to the beach.
