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.

25th April 2010 update
A lot has happened and a lot stayed the same
The latest redevelopment planning app is still on hold - we're
waiting for it to be removed or go to the planning committee.
Objections will still be read by Ian Bailey


What's new is the Arts Trust idea, hoping to emulate the Kingsland Rd Tram Depot that got £2.4m to transform their space for dance.


Just click on the Beecholme header and scroll down to more recent posts or see the new "Tram Depot Arts Trust!?" page.

The Arts provide us with the opportunity to re-evaluate the borders and definitions of the culture we find ourselves in.

This exhibition will look at interpretations of nature and the linguistic and visual systems of codes that permeate our understanding of nature. The materials that artworks are made of are significant in the way we understand and contextualise a piece. Through exploring these definitions we aim to challenge, not only the categorisations of nature and materiality, but also artworks themselves.  The way we seek to understand ideas and objects in relation to semantic structures provides a secure world-view but limits the terms in! which we process information.

Changing The Nature includes work which, either consciously or sub-consciously, taps into our growing concern with an environmental, necessarily global approach to nature as a wider, interlinked, ecological system.  A system that is not outside culture, but inextricably linked to it via phenomenon such as climate change, sustainability and a new consciousness of how we use the materials in the world around us.
