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.

What used to be the old furniture factory in the Prout Road workshops (but has been empty recently)
is now occupied by artists workshops and a new gallery:

Please support them as they are the ideal people to have there, not just
because they will hold kids workshops and shows, but because it
helps in our fight to keep the Old Tram Depot from being re-developed.
Our argument to the council and planners was based largely on the basis that
the depot is occupied in large part by working sculptors, artists,

designers and art galleries (there is a student art gallery and an
art project gallery in the main building)
