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 article noted Jennette Arnold's support for CAT:

“Clapton residents are fighting for their cultural heritage – campaigning to keep the old Tram Depot a space for artists and small-scale manufacturers,” said London Assembly member Jennette Arnold, who has given her full backing to CAT’s campaign. “I am supporting their push to retain and regenerate this unique building, so it can take up its rightful place at the heart of Clapton’s community.”
