Industrial Premises on Gorton Lane
This large former factory (?) stretching along Gorton Lane is Manchester City Council's Hammerstone Lane depot (the entrance is on Hammerstone Lane). There is a pub on the corner called "Steelworks Tavern" - perhaps that may be a clue to its former use.

Gorton Baths
This is the old Gorton Baths, one of the last old landmarks of Gorton. An interesting building close to Gorton Park, it was also used as a gymnastic centre, but now sadly unused and in bad condition. Will probably be demolished soon. A sad end to a proud building.
