The maps illustrate changes and development of the Village of Stokeford from 1930 to 2010.
It is clear from the first map that the village is located on the east side of river Stoke, and it is divided into two parts by a main road, which runs from south to north and meets the river at a bridge in the north. In 1930, there were a small number of buildings along the road, including houses, shops, a post office, a primary school and a big garden with a large house. There were two areas of farmland: while one lay in the northeast, the other was situated in the southwest. (提示：这个段落的前半部分是介绍这个村庄的地理状况，这个其实是与时间无关的，所以1930写在了这句话的后面。如果是把1930写在段首了，那么这个段落的所有内容都应该是过去时。也就是说地理状况的描述也是过去时，这也是可以的。)
In 2010, the main road was extended to the east and west, and along the new branches were a large number of newly built houses. As a consequence of this, the original farmlands and shops disappeared, while the size of the garden was reduced and the previous large house was replaced by a retirement home. What is also worthing mentioning is that the area of the primary school was expanded.
Overall, great changes had taken place in village Stokeford by 2010, and the most obvious one is that it developed to accommodate more population.
