Mapping growth You are going to use maps from the Old-Maps website www.old-maps.co.uk to investigate how your local area has changed and grown over time.

Type the postcode of your school into the search box and press ‘Go’. Select your school address from the drop down box.

You then need to select 3 maps which show change in your local area over time. Try and pick 3 which cover quite a large range in time. For example, 1884, 1926 and 1938. Once you have selected your maps, select the first one, centre it – you can zoom in using the buttons on the left – and then press CTRL and PRINT SCREEN together.

Choose a suitable title and arrange the 3 maps in a WORD document Choose a suitable title and arrange the 3 maps in a WORD document. You can then describe what you can see in each map and discuss how the local area has changed over time. In particular, try and work out how much the area has grown over time. This is an example of what your WORD document might look like.
