The maps below illustrate how Frenton changed from 1990 to 2012.

The transformation of a small town: Frenton, between 1990 and 2012 is

portrayed in the given maps.

In 1990, Frenton was a small town, which was bisected into almost equal parts
by the High Street. Towards the immediate East of the street, there was a café
and a park and next to it, there were settlements (Houses). A theatre and some
shops were there towards the South-east of the street. The four major
establishments to the West of the street were a school, a bank, a hospital and a
library. There was also a playing field with trees at the North of the town,
adjacent to the street.

After 22 years, the Eastern part of the High Street changed a lot. Houses were
developed to flats, which expanded towards the North. The Café and park got
transformed to a hotel and a golf course. A supermarket replaced shops,
whereas a cinema replaced the theatre. Settlements further expanded at the
North, crossing the street, and the hospital increased its size. A restaurant
occupied the space of the bank. Trees at the South were cleared for a
technopark.

Overall, the development of the town in this short span of time was tremendous.
