our story

Our History
The story of the Hill Tavern can be traced back to 1839 when on 15 February bricklayer John Waldron was granted permission to enclose a small plot of land on Clent Hills Common. The agreement allowed John Waldron to build a dwelling house and outhouse on the site. The building work was completed and he occupied the property in 1842. He immediately applied for, and was granted, a licence to convert the dwelling into a beer house. John Waldron brewed his own ales here. Using water from the Clent Hills he would have produced ales to meet the demands of local farmers and of the thousands of visitors who came to Clent from the Black Country. The Hill Tavern had incredible innings for the time, considering that opening hours were from 4am- 10pm, often with an extension to midnight!
