Prospect, Leeds

An unpretentious but highly-regarded working local wnich has barely altered since the 1950s. The entrance lobby and internal doors date from a 1920s refit by John Smith's Tadcaster Brewery who purchased the pub around 1924 and carried out further work in the 1950s. The linoleum-floored vaults to the left of the entrance were extended into a former kitchen in the later refit. The room is simply appointed and the counter has had the same panelling applied as appears on the adjacent area of wall once occupied by a fireplace. In the right-hand lounge, the attractive bar counter, with stained glass above, is from the 1950s. There is much bench seating from that era in both rooms, that in the vaults having leatherette covering. The toilets were converted from a former smoke room.
