IELTS Task 1 - Pictorial Chart: Development of the village of Chorleywood, London



The map shows the development and increase in the population of Chorleywood, a village near London, between 1868 and 1994.

Chorleywood's transit system was developed in a tic-tac-toe gridlike pattern. Chorleywood Park and Golf Course is the central point. The Chorleywood station to the south of Chorleywood Park was the first to be developed between 1883 and 1922. During this development, the Railway was built in 1909. The dark shaded area around the station was developed between 1922 and 1970.

After the station's surrounding expansions in 1970, the Motorway was established to the West of the Park and Golf course. As depicted in the chart using diagonally shaded areas, we notice new expansions from 1970 to 1994. It is worth noting that all areas intersect with at least two modes of transportation.

Overall, it is evident that as the population steadily increased, the village of Chorleywood had significant developments over a span of a century.
