Clatterford End is hamlet in the civil parish of Stanford Rivers, and in the Epping Forest district of Essex, England.
[citation needed] The hamlet was essential in delivering agricultural produce to London, such as milk during the Second World War.
[citation needed] The land in the hamlet varies in elevation from approximately 74 ft. above sea-level to 81 ft.[2] The River Roding runs near and forms the eastern and southern boundaries of the parish.
Clatterford End is 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Chipping Ongar and 6 miles (10 km) east of Epping, and is in the civil parish of Stanford Rivers, close to the settlements of Greensted Green, Greensted, Toot Hill, Bobbingworth, Bovinger, and Little End.
Clatterford End is represented on the Essex County Council under the Ongar & Rural division of the Epping Forest district.
In the 2017 county council elections the Conservative candidate won the division seat with 68.2% of the vote, followed by the Liberal Democrats with 12.6%.
[citation needed] The hamlet has no shops or facilities, apart from one post-box, but consists of a small cluster of houses in one area with a number of scattered farms to the east and west.
Previously, the nearest station was Blake Hall (which lies between North Weald and Ongar stations), opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1 April 1865, serving principally as a goods yard carrying agricultural produce from the nearby farms into London.
[6] Some reports state that since the station was located a considerable distance from any substantial settlement, 17 passengers used it a day, making it the quietest on the entire London Underground network.
Although the building remained, the platform was removed by LT when they heard that, despite the formal closure, some trains were still dropping off passengers.
The road joins to Toot Hill opposite the Green Man pub and ends at a T-junction near Greensted.
