Text Box: Welcome to the Backford and Mollington WEB Site. The site for the Parish of Backford and its constituent villages of Mollington, Backford, Caughall, Chorlton and Lea-by-Backford.                                                                                             
The Parish is a relatively small community, with about 420 homes and a population of 1400 residents. We are a rural community with 15 working farms, tree lined lanes and pleasant grass verges just some 5 minutes from the centre of Chester                                                                
There are three independent local parish councils; Backford, Mollington, Lea-by-Backford who on many issues work and pull together, all served by the ecclesiastical parish of Backford PPC . The community is physically partitioned by the A41 Trunk Road.
The area is  well served  by the Motorway system being minutes from the end of the M56 to Manchester, the M53 to Birkenhead and Liverpool, and the A55 trunk road to North Wales.
Please enjoy navigating through our site and learning about our community

2012 - The Village Hall needs someone – possibly you!

 

Your village hall was built in 1950 with various extensions having been added in the intervening years – the Garden Room, the Selby Suite and most recently a newly fitted-out kitchen bringing it up to modern standards. The Hall provides a focus point for many organisations who meet there regularly for recreation, artistic endeavour, education, cultural events, private parties, church events, Brownies, dancing to name just a few. 2012 will see the start-up of a new campaign of fund raising for the eventual re-building of the Village Hall to bring it up to new eco standards for the enjoyment of all for the next 60 years and beyond.   We are looking for help in this endeavour  Click on This
