Thanks guys. I have a contact in Australia doing mutual family research and he wanted some photos of the locations.
I've come across an old ( ca 1954) newspaper cutting recording the demolition of Mount Pleasant, Garston. It seems it was sited on the hill behind Kettle Nook next to Garston Hospital. It was the name given to a small group of houses. Hope you can read the text in the attached photo of the newspaper cutting.
