Artist and model . . .

Peter Hill, one of the Hosts of the Benches Group, caught with a ‘model’ in the grounds of Gladesville Hospital last Saturday… :)

Gladesville Mental Hospital (formerly Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum) operated from c.1838-

Surviving records cover c.1822-1985

In 1838 the lunatic asylum was moved from Liverpool to Tarban Creek, Gladesville and the first patients were transferred from Liverpool Asylum and the Female Factory, Parramatta. It accepted patients from Victoria up until 1848 when the Yarra Bend asylum was opened. By the mid 1960s the institution was known simply as Gladesville Hospital. In 1993 premises at Gladesville Hospital and Macquarie Hospital were revoked as hospitals, and were amalgamated to form the Gladesville Macquarie Hospital.

    I have reluctanctly accepted this image into the Benches Group. Couldn’t twist the rules to reject it. :)) My bum on the web – what has life come to???? :) It was a great day and a pleasure to meet “the peg lady” !!

    An excellent day Peter – and a great turnout. I wouldn’t be reluctant about accepting this shot into the group if I were you – I thought the angle was pretty good actually!!! Thank you for kindly allowing this into the group – I’m sure it will enhance our respect for the Host greatly!
