The 1930s Prospect Inn public house at Minster is now a Holiday Inn Express.


The Prospect Inn of 1939, now a Holiday Inn Express, stands at a road junction near Manston Airport in Kent. The building, by Oliver Hill, is characterised by its curved 'Cunard' lines and the mast rising from the upper storey - this originally supported an electrically lit star. The overall design extended to the interior with inlaid linoleum floors with giant leaf patterns. Although the building is still standing many of its details have been lost. It is Grade II listed.
