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.

The new EIB process for 2009

This year we are to put forward 3 projects in preferential order.
If there is the time and money to do all three, all three will be done.
With luck this should avoid the huge underspend
of the last two years.

Our 3 projects will probably be:
1. Depending on whether we get the £5,000 grant from Grass Roots
(HSCV) for grounds/planting, add £3,000 for 3 years continuous maintenance
(weeding, pruning, seasonal replanting etc)
2. A sculptural seat not too dissimilar to the one illustrated below.
3. Floor covering for the lift lobby - perhaps lino or carpet tiles so any wear or burns
or spillages can be easily gotten rid of by replacing a tile.

If you have an idea for the EIB, let me know, it's not too late!
David White (sec. B&C TRA) email me at:

We will register the 3 projects at the next ETRA on
Tue 28th July at 7pm

....................................................................

This year's TRA outing
is to Leeds Castle, just outside London
on Sunday 26th of July.

You'll get a pamphlet through your door closer to the date.

that's all for now.

Have a good long weekend!
