Chandler's Ford (originally The Ford[2] and historically Chandlersford) is a largely residential area and civil parish in the Borough of Eastleigh in Hampshire, England. It had a population of 21,436 according to the 2011 Census.[1]
Chandler's Ford lies on the old Winchester to Southampton road and the 'Ford' is thought to refer either to the ford of Monks Brook[3] on the Hursley Road (shown on the Hursley map of 1588 as "Charnells foord")[3] or on the Winchester-Southampton road.[2] The "Chandler's" prefix was possibly added in the late 16th century,[2] although there are numerous theories for the origin of the word.[4][5][6][7]
The head offices of Draper Tools,[8] B&Q,[9] Utilita Energy, Selwood and Ahmad Tea[10] are located in Chandler's Ford.
