The Hinchley Wood was situated at the junction of Manor Road North and the A309. In 1999, Hinchley Wood residents took on McDonalds to defeat a plan to turn the pub into a fast-food outlet. In 1997, it had earlier provided a historical footnote when former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife, Raisa, visited it when their flight home to Russia was delayed. Closed in 1999, the pub has now been demolished and retirement flats built on the site.
