Barton's Mill Prison, in Pickering Brook, was established as an adult male minimum security gaol in 1942 when the Army took over the facilities at Fremantle Prison. Young male offenders were placed there during World War II in conditions that were considered by many to be inappropriate and dangerous. Barton's Mill continued as a prison until August 1973 when it became a secure facility for 'committed inebriates'. It closed on 7 July 1989.
