Planned 1930s streets around the station and Manor Road
Around Hinchley Wood station and Manor Road, planned 1930s garden-suburb semis include bay windows and tall openings. Their real faces and angles need measuring, while glazing divisions and handle positions provide the lines an existing shutter should align with and clear.
We inspect each bay join, hinge and panel gap before treating a dropped or rubbing leaf. If the frame remains stable, re-hanging or component repair may be sufficient; if wear affects several working parts and the finish of a sound set, the evidence can support a coordinated restoration assessment. For the station and Manor Road streets, comparing all bay gaps before and after movement helps show whether a single Hinchley Wood panel has dropped or the joined frame needs broader attention.
