Gorton Mount
Gorton Mount Hotel was designed by the architect Edward Hartley Hacking in 1933 for J G Swales Naval Brewery, Hulme. https://manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk/buildings/gorton-mount-hotel-187-mount-roadduras-road-gorton
At one time it was a Boddington's pub.
It closed as a pub in 2016 http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/lancashire/manchester_m18_gortonmount.html and reportedly converted into a restaurant.
On some hotel booking sites it is still being advertised as having some rooms with sea views!

The Gorton Mount, Mount Road, Manchester
Inter-war pub.
Possibly no longer a pub - it may just be a hotel.

Mount Olivet Church
The Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1380065 Church of Our Lady and St Thomas of Canterbury was built at the bequest of Mrs Angelina Frances Clarke, who chose the dedication and form of decoration. The administration of Mrs Clarke's bequest was entrusted to the Community of the Resurrection at Mirfield who appointed their own architect, Walter Tapper, to prepare the design. It was built between 1926 and 1928. It was extended in 1983 with a narthex by Buttress Fuller architects.
In 2005 it became the Mount Olivet Apostolic Church which then closed in 2015. The presence of scaffolding suggests the building is being looked after, possibly for conversion to apartments.
