Tindal Centre

The Bierton Hill Workhouse, in which building the Tindal Centre is now housed

The Tindal Centre (formerly Tindal Hospital) was a centre for the treatment of mental disorders in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England run by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. It includes a residential hospital for people with profound mental health difficulties and also counselling/therapy outpatient services. It is located to the north east of the town in an area colloquially known as Bierton Hill, opposite Aylesbury Prison. People that could not afford the fees of the local hospital Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital were sent to this workhouse.

The building in which the centre and hospital is located was originally the town's workhouse, built in 1844.

The centre was closed in 2014 when the Whiteleaf Centre in Aylesbury was opened.[1]
