Note on reverse reads "A typical Suffolk post mill. It was very severely damaged in a freak storm in 1946 just after its new arm had put it into first class working order. It now works with two sails only but the owner hopes to be able to replace the other two."

File
May 1966 to May 2002

Part of David Nicholls (Millwright) Collection

Multiple documentation on the condition of Kilcott Watermill including:
(1) A partial copy of a letter from the mill's then owner, W. Medlam, to SPAB requesting advice on prioritisation of repairs at the mill (23 May 1966) and Ken Major's response (12 July 1966) referring to an enclosed report. A full report is not attached to the copy letter but 4 pages rehearsing the mill's incidental history and an extract of repair priorities is attached.
(2) A 13-page report on the condition of Kilcott Mill by Ken Major (undated [July 1966?]) with suggested repairs and their priorities together with a cost estimate.
(3) A 4-page report on the condition of Kilcott Mill by Ken Major (November 1995), the mill being noted as Grade II Listed.
(4) David Nicholl's 16-page report to owners, Mr and Mrs Hayes, detailing the mill's location, history, watercourse, structure, machinery and waterwheel, the latter's condition being assessed as 'fair, considering the age (175 years)' and giving recommendations for the mill's future use and repair. Broad budget costings are also provided.
(5) A stapled bundle of papers relating to Kilcott Watermill which includes extracted pages from Nicholl's report (see (4) above) and 8 photocopied pages of annotated photographs of the mill's interior indicating areas of concern.
