The maps below show the changes that have taken place at the seaside town of Brinslow between 1990 and 2005.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The illustration reveals the extent of changes in the coastal town of Brinslow over the period of time from 1990 to 2005.
To summarise, Brinslow has seen extensive changes in terms of type and layout of housing and in general transportation and infrastructure.
When comparing 1990 with 2005, it can be seen that the road and rail networks have been developed with the addition of a new railway line built along the south coast. A ferry port has also been built just south of the railway station in addition to an airport located north west of the school. However, the original school, hospital, and car park have remained and a few extra houses have been constructed nearby on an area previously covered with trees. A factory has also been built on a previously wooded area.
In the north west area, the large mansion and its grounds have been demolished and an apartment bock has been erected. Multiple small houses have also been built along the main road to the railway station. The south west area has been completely transformed with two large apartment blocks, a supermarket and an extra access road being built on what was previously an area offering limited housing.
