ABOUT THIS SITE

The HELIX website was launched in March 2006 and until October 2011
was hosted on a free platform known as Beehive, provided by the owners of the
Echo newspaper. At that time the site was more than just a
‘what’s on’ site. It covered local news, planning
applications, neighbourhood meetings (no longer held), information about churches
and other organisations and more. If you’d like to see what the site
looked like in October 2011, when the Beehive platform was withdrawn, then
click here.
After the Beehive platform was
withdrawn, the site was temporarily hosted for eighteen months on the Dropbox
cloud platform. From April 2013 it has been hosted in the conventional way
and since February 2025 has been hosted by Freethought, whose pricing is very
reasonable. If I had more time, I’d try
and build an updated version of the old site using more up-to-date technology
but involvement in other areas, particularly the Hadleigh & Thundersley
Community Archive, currently precludes that happening. Malcolm
