The two maps given illustrate how the village of Stockford has changed over a period of 80 years (from 1930 to 2010).


Overall, Stockford underwent significant changes during the 80 year period. The two most significant changes were the change in land use from agriculture to residential. As a result, all land for farming was changed mostly to residential housing. Moreover, the only facilities that remain still remain are the post office and the school.

Back in 1930, there was only one road which ran North-South through the village with a side road leading to gardens and a large house to the East.

North of the Gardens and adjacent to them was a primary school. To the north of the school were 7 houses along the main road (4 on the east side, 3 on the west). Just south of the houses on the west side of the road were two shops that were followed by the post office.

South of the post office was two houses and opposite these, one house lay adjacent to the gardens in the north. Surrounding this area was farmland. A little south another road branched west of the main road, and it too is lined with houses.

This all changed by 2010. As mentioned, all farmland was eliminated. Just south of the bridge, a road branched off the main road, and houses were built along with it.

North of this road are three houses and just south of the east road is one house South of the post office on the opposite side of the main road are several houses that and a road branches eas where the entrance to the gardens was. This road is lined with 4 houses and ends at a retirement home.

South of the post office, another road branches west and circles back to the main road. This street is also lined with houses and the street returns to the main road just south of the lane that leads to the retirement home. From this point, both sides of the main road are lined with houses.
