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.

Just for fun (3) - Euro election 2009 quick guide - Beecholme photos


(I took these on my mobile phone a couple of days ago.
They're a bit of a cheat really because i took them very close to & from behind plants
so they make the estate look a lot greener than it actually is)


As with all the photos, artwork and documents on the site, if you
click on them or better yet, right click and select
"open in new tab or window" they will come up full size.
In this case that means A4 for the "views" and the "panorama"
about 5 inches high by 2 foot wide.




Flats 10-21 and 22-33 Beecholme are top left, overlooking Millfields park.

Having trouble figuring out who on earth
some the candidates (and parties) are and what they stand for?


I hadn’t even heard of some of the parties so spent half an hour searching for the information I needed to be able to vote sensibly. I found all the info on London’s Euro election candidates on a concise and easy to follow page and figured I could save you the time & trouble
of having to search as well…


A summary of all London candidates and quick guide to their policies:
