Children will learn map reading skills to use in an exploration of historical and modern maps to consider the urbanisation of the area, and why this occurred.

They will be encouraged to consider the topography of the area and transport routes over time.

Children will explore census documents and consider the changing roles and trades of the communities of the area and compare them to their modern-day family roles.
