The given
map depicts development – in terms of increase of population – of Chorleywood Village
near London between 1868 and 1994.
The Chorleywood
area had two main roads – running from south to north and North-west to east
around Chorleywood Park and golf course. First settlements came up east of the
main road and south west of gold course between1868 - 1883.
There was a
subsequent expansion of residential areas just south of first settlement from
1883 to 1922. In the meanwhile, a railway line – running across the second
settlement with a station in the area; and running from west to east – was laid
in 1909.
This led to
further settlements (1922-1970) along the railways lines – in the east and west
of second settlement.
Construction
of motorway in 1970 – running from south to north and intersecting railway
lines and the main road led to development of fourth phase of settlements –
that came up around motorway and railway lines.
The major development
of Chorleywood took place after development of railways and motorway.
