Andover's population stood at 52,753 at the 2021 Census, making it the largest town in the Test Valley district of Hampshire.
The Guildhall, and a market town since Saxon times
Andover's Georgian High Street is dominated by the Guildhall, a Grade II listed building completed in 1825 — the third guildhall to stand on the same site — built with its ground floor open for shops and market stalls and the upper floor given over to the town's government. The town's trading history goes back much further: Andover was a Saxon settlement by 950 AD, when a royal hunting lodge was built there, and wool processing was long the main local industry, with street names around "Sheep Fair" still marking where it was bought and sold.
Just off the High Street, the Town Mills once ground the wheat that farmers brought in from the surrounding countryside, and fulled the woollen cloth produced by the town's weavers — a reminder that Andover's High Street has been a working trading centre for the best part of a thousand years, long before the current Guildhall was built.
What none of that covers
Georgian shopfronts and market stalls were never built for bulk. A 3kg bulk bag, a vegan-specific range, or a halal-friendly selection put together for a business order isn't something a High Street counter or market stall carries.
Why Andover shoppers order online anyway
For anything beyond a bag bought in person, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip into the town centre required.
