The map shows the growth of
a village called Chorleywood between 1868 and 1994.
It is clear that the village
grew as the transportation was improved. Four periods of development are shown
on the map, and each of the populated areas is near the main roads, the railway
or the motorway.
Between years 1868 and 1883;
Chorleywood covered a small area next to one of the main roads. Chorleywood
Park and Golf Course is now located next to this original village area. The
village grew along the main road to the south between 1883 and 1922, and in
1909 a railway line was built crossing this area from west to east. Chorleywood
station is in this part of the village.
The expansion of Chorleywood
continued to the east and west alongside the railway line until 1970. At that
time, a motorway was built to the east of the village, and from 1970 to 1994, further
development of the village took place around motorway intersection with railway
and one of the main roads.
