The Backhill magazine was a highly popular publication which ran from the early 70s and was seen as a way of holding the spreading community together. However in 1997 ever increasing print costs brought production to a close. In 2009 a Christmas special edition was created and very well received so the editorial team and other interested parties decided to reinvent the Backhill magazine and move it online.
​
They came to us with a plan, proposals and a request for money to get the project off the ground. This was approved and the grant given.
The community website includes a complete archive of the original magazine issues as well as many new ideas enjoying all the benefits of an online community website.
Backhill Online is currently looking for:
-
Businesses to support it by advertising in their directory.
-
Editors to run the site.
-
Content contributors for the recipes, news and events sections.
