History
The club was formed in 1887 as the Beaumont Harriers but became the Essex Beagles in July 189 and merged with Newham AC in 1985 when it moved from Barking to the Terence McMillan Stadium in the London Borough of Newham, East London. The Newham club is extremely close to the site of the 2012 Olympic Games and a number of athletes competed at the event.
