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.

Next TRA meeting poster - Tue 22nd Sept at 7.30pm + this site has nearly 12,000 visits


Rather rushed - without even pencil mini layout roughs - but it will have to do.


>><<

Over 12,000 visits!

Thank you for your interest and support for this site.

The number of hits is just coming up to 12 thousand (UPDATE: is now over 12k) - since the 1st of May 2007 - far more than I ever expected in the 2 years 5 months it's been up.

That's an average of 300 hits a week, every week.

Actually, the first year was closer to 150 a week at most - for the last few weeks it's been getting well over 500 hits a week.

I hadn't checked for a long time so found this a bit of a surprise.
It's so encouraging I will increase my efforts updating it and adding new posts.

So please do keep visiting - it's going to get even better.

Best wishes, David White (Sec. B&C TRA).

The Clapton Panel Community FUN DAY - Sept 5th on Millfields Park North.


Here's the first. Most of the people are on the tree line behind the pop up.
If you click on the photo and bring it up full size you'll get a better idea.
This is 3 stitched together from my small digital camera.

Most photos I shot on 35mm film and will have them developed in the next day or two.
I'll post them here and/or Flickr and put the direct link here.
