Clatford is 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south from Andover town centre, the most direct route the old railway line which is now a public footpath.
[3] The canal and later railway were important to the local economy, in particular for the transport of raw materials from Southampton via Andover to Upper Clatford for Taskers of Andover, whose premises were in nearby Anna Valley.
[citation needed] Pig Iron was shipped from Southampton via the canal to Taskers Wharf,[citation needed] originally where the footpath now leaves Upper Clatford for Andover.
[citation needed] Significant buildings at Clatford include thatched cottages and houses including the local public house The Crook and Shears, and the local parish church of All Saints, which was first built probably during the reign of Henry I (1100–1135).
[citation needed] The Church sits between two arms of the Pillhill Brook; the village war memorial is within its grounds.
