Gorton, Preston Street
Looking along Preston Street from Gorton Lane. The large building on the right which looks like it was once a factory, is Manchester City Council's Hammerstone Lane depot (the entrance is on Hammerstone Lane). There building on the left is a pub called "Steelworks Tavern" - perhaps that may be a clue to its former use.
