Description

The Prospect Inn is a public house built in 1939 by Oliver Hill in the International Modern Cunard style. This was his only commission for a public house. In the 1960s, a sun lounge was added. The building features a roughly circular arrangement of three bars, originally four, and a two-storey rectangular residential block made of brown brick at the rear, which includes a Games Room. The front has a pointed glazed staircase light and a flagstaff that was originally topped with a star. The bars are partly constructed of brick and partly of cement, enclosed with metal casements.

Inside, the Games Room retains its original linoleum floor, decorated with motifs of a tennis racquet and a cricket bat, along with a tiled fireplace. The Public Bar features original panelling, a bar, a porthole light in the ceiling, barquette seating, and a built-in darts board. The Saloon Bar, created by combining the original small public and small saloon bars, has wooden panelling, original chrome and black light fittings, and barquette seating. The restaurant, which was formerly the Saloon Bar, includes light oak panelling, two original chrome and white plastic light fittings, a curved bar, a tiled fireplace, barquette seating, and original windows that are located behind the 1960s sun lounge. An original linoleum floor is also reported to be preserved beneath the fitted carpet in this area. The building retains original doors throughout, as well as the same porthole windows.
