Hillend Tavern, 37-39 Main Street, Hillend

The Hillend Tavern, located at 37-39 Main Street, Hillend, is an earlier 19th century public house. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular building. The front, east and north elevations are rendered, while the west elevation exhibits painted rubble. The building features painted stone cills, margins, straight quoins, a base course, a string course, eaves course, and scrolled skewputts.

The south (principal) elevation has a central door with a later timber and slated canopy. Flanking the door are single windows, and above the ground floor openings are three first-floor windows. A timber fascia displays the pub signage 'HILLEND TAVERN'. The east elevation abuts the building at 41 Main Street, and the north (rear) elevation is largely hidden by modern additions. The west elevation adjoins 35 Main Street.

The windows are timber sash and case windows with plate glass and horns on the principal elevation. There are cast-iron rooflights on the south side, and modern dormer windows on the north. The building has a pitched roof covered with slates on the south side and concrete tiles on the rear (north) side. It also has raised, flat-headed skews, scrolled skewputts with floral detail on the north side, coped rendered gable apex stacks, and circular clay cans.

The interior has been entirely replaced with modern finishes, and no original features remain. The Hillend Tavern is one of the few two-storey buildings in the former linen-weaving village of Hillend, with modern accommodation incorporated to the rear. The building is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1856.
