03 THE STORY

About this print

Four heavy metal doors punctuate the right wall of a long corridor inside the Kirkbride Block at Callan Park, their surfaces marked by decades of wear. Curtained windows run the full length of the opposite wall, casting a faint greenish tint across the tiled floor below. Exposed pipework traces the upper right corner of the passage.

Callan Park sits on the Iron Cove foreshore at Lilyfield, with a long north-facing frontage to the cove. The site was selected by Colonial Architect James Barnet for its winter sun and summer breezes. The hospital operated continuously from 1 August 1878 to 30 April 2008. The site is now public parkland managed by Greater Sydney Parklands and protected by the Callan Park (Special Provisions) Act 2002.

The series

Callan Park

2016–2018 · 93 photographs

Dr Frederic Norton Manning rejected the asylum as 'a cemetery for deceased intellects'. In 1876 he toured asylums in England, France, Germany and the United States, returning with drawings of Chartham Down Hospital in Kent. Working with Colonial Architect James Barnet and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, he built Australia's first hospital purpose-built for moral therapy treatment on the Iron Cove foreshore.
