A 6-page proposal document for "A School Project to record all the Mill Walls on Barbados in conjunction with The Barbados National Trust and The Chiltern Partnership UK". The project was proposed by Nicholls in memory of his late-mother, Amy V. Nicholls. The document sets out links between pupils' project participation and relevant sections of the national curriculum, suggesting research methods which include the gathering of oral history and photographs as well as compiling statistical information on the sites. Safety criteria, funding, prizes, sponsorship, adjudication and timescales are discussed, the report concluding with an overview of project benefits and a recommendation for the permanent public display of the project results.

Photographs of mills in the UK. Also some of mills in France, Barbados, Belgium, Spain and Greece.

A 83 cm x 96 cm photocopy of "A topographical map of the island of Barbados, based on the survey taken by William Mayo, in 1721, corrected and improved to 1859 by A. Taylor". The map shows the location of sugar works on the island (denoted by a windmill in the map's key) as well as "steam works" and other landmarks on the island. The map was published by Thomas Fox Cross in London, 1859, and engraved by Lewis Becker.

Material re. "Windmills and Steam Power in Barbados".

Correspondence between Nicholls and the High Commission for Grenada beginning by referencing a recent meeting concerning the future of the River Antoine Estate which Nicholls feels should be maintained " as an essential part of the history of Grenada. Further, it is a prime example of a water powered sugar mill, unique now in the whole of the Caribbean. It can be compared in importance with the huge Morgan Lewis Sugar Wind Mill in Barbados".
A visit from a television crew (Carlton Televsion) to the estate is arranged (December 1999), the crew extending a visit to film the completion and commissioning of the Morgan Lewis sugar mill. A previous visit by Nicholls to the River Antoine Estate with D.M.Simpson & Co Limited in 1997 is also referenced.
Arrangements are made for a visit to the estate by Cyril McCombe who Nicholls describes as "a consultant to our business in the UK and is a world wide authority on cast iron".
