Writing Feedback / The maps below show the changes that have taken place at Queen Mary Hospital since its construction [2]
The diagram depicts the area of Queen Mary Hospital at 3 different stages in its development: 1960, 1980 and 2020
As can be observed from the maps, the Queen Mary Hospital changed swiftly between 1960 and 2000. One notable shift was the demolition of the shopping centre and the farmland.
In the 20-year period from 1960, in the north-western corner of the map, a cancer centre and a pharmacy were erected with the removal of the shopping centre. Similar to that, the farmland, which originally stood in the north-western corner, was converted into a nursing school. On the eastern wing, the hospital and the car park remained intact during the given period.
Turning to the year 2000, the hospital and the pharmacy stayed the same. Meanwhile, both the nursing school and the car park decreased in size and were moved eastward to make way for the expansion of the cancer centre.
