An unpretentious but highly-regarded working local which has barely altered since the 1950s and combines characteristics of that era, like the seating and bar in the right-hand lounge, with internal doors and entrance lobby from a 1920s refit – all by John Smith’s Tadcaster Brewery who acquired the Prospect around 1924. Their 1950s alterations elongated the vaults (into a former kitchen) and converted a former front-right smoke room into toilets. The ‘1822’ gable datestone outside belonged to former workshops on the site.
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.
