More about Beecholme


Beecholme is also the first postwar "mixed development" housing scheme in Hackney, with a mixture of houses and flats with the taller block having five storeys and containing one-bedroom and bedsit accommodation. It is featured in Volume 15 of Hackney History and was the site of Beecholme House, the family home of Maj. John André (d. 1780), who was executed as a British spy in the American War of Independence.

bike shed in jeopardy

Hi again. I'd like to remind everyone who'd like a bike space reserved to either email: bike@beecholme.co.uk or fill in the leaflet that came through your letterbox (or just write a note with no. spaces, your name, address & ph no) as soon as possible.

Let me know before 20th November please.

So far we have only 3 households (6 bicycle places) wanting the secure bike shelter.
If we don't get a better response we may have to shelve the idea. To some extent it will depend on any alternative projects popularity/potential use.

If you think the secure bike shelter would encourage you to get a bicycle or you think you may want a space in the not too distant future, please let me know.
Post your request for a space(s) to me:

David White (Sec. B&C TRA)
22 Beecholme Est
Prout Rd
Clapton
London E5 9NS.

or email: bike@beecholme.co.uk

See the leaflet and photos of the bike shelter below.
You can even click on it to bring it up full size in a new window/tab and then print it out.
