I love Britain's Ordnance Survey maps. This is a section of Sheet 130 (Kidderminster) published in 1954 following full revision in 1949. It's style is instantly recognisable, remaining in use today. However, there are subtle changes e.g. tracks shown as dotted black lines with no indication of their right of way status such as "footpath" or "bridleway". When compared to the up-to-date OS map, Bewdley like most small towns has seen expansion but is still very recognisable. The rail lines to the north and east still exist as the Severn Valley Railway, one of Britain's many and successful steam railways. Sadly the line to the south and the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway to the west both fell victim to mass government rail closures in the early 1960's under the infamous Beeching Axe. Wyre Forest is still more or less as it was but is now used as much for recreation as for timber.
