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.

and
includes not only re-creations of the master's paintings (of all types) but his music
and even his instruments - on his 500 year anniversary.

Here's a very small taste of this wonderful site:
