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.

Last last chance to fight high-rise in Lea Regional Park



 The LVRPA today decide to write the pre-action letter to LB Waltham Forest in pursuit of a JR of the decision to grant a high density residential development on Essex Wharf - due in large part to the recent high volume of emails and letters from residents demanding a JR be pursued -
however, the final decision to go forward hasn't been taken yet.


Please do continue to email at least the chair and vice chair of the LVRPA (see below), if not all the committee members, asking for the JR.
