The old Grayland's Psychiatric Hospital in Swanbourne, once grand and imposing is now abandoned and in a sad state of disrepair. Those with mental issues were often locked away for life. Many people are convinced ghosts haunt the premises. The future however is bright with plans for the building to be restored to its former glory. We headed out to document the place, getting a glimpse of its grand past. Now we take you on a tour of the building as a salutary reminder of the neglected state it is in today.

Im so very happy it is been restored I can only hope it will again help those that need ongoing aid I wish they would do the same at Gladesville hospital, it was terrible when they closed it and put people out on the streets' SHAME' at the time the patients were almost self sufficient and living in relative harmony and peace

I grew up in the area. My grampa and mum worked at Graylands Hospital. My Grampa was an electrician there. Mum only worked there for a little while. Horrible to see the place so vandalised.

I worked there from early 1970s to 1980s just before it closed . That was mainly the stores area and the administration area that staircase was lined with polished jarrah boards all the way up. the building with the big vaulted ceiling is where they would hold movies etc. and at that time the males only looked after the male patients and the females had a seperate nursing admin area only looking after the females.

My mum worked there from the 1960's to it closed. Maybe you knew her Paula Bolvig, everyone called her Lisa.

I worked there in 1979 as a male RN and worked in a female psycho-geriatric ward (? Inglewood) for a few weeks during my 8 month employment there. I don't remember all of the ward names (named after Perth suburbs alphabetically), but I remember Ardross, Belmont, Calista, Dalkeith (upper and lower), Embleton, can't remember the F, Guildford, Highgate, Inglewood, Jolimont, K ?, Leederville, Manning.
