 The facility had its origins in a workhouse infirmary built for the Aylesbury Poor Law Union Workhouse at Bierton Hill and completed in the late 19th century.The workhouse became Tindal Hospital during the Second World War and, more recently, the main block became home to a mental health facility known as the Tindal Centre.After services had transferred to the Whiteleaf Centre in Aylesbury, the Tindal Centre closed in 2014.
