East Anton history

---

Both the 1895 and 1969 OS maps indicate East Anton was a small, rural hamlet, made up of two farms; “East Anton Farm” and “Little East Anton Farm”. East Anton remained isolated until the latter end of the 20th century with the rapid growth of Andover (as an overspill town) and the housing developments in the areas of Kingsway Gardens and Roman Way. The land surrounding East Anton has been declared a “Major Development Area” with proposals for 2,500 houses, including 40% affordable housing.
