March 1994

Part of David Nicholls (Millwright) Collection

The Chiltern Partnership's 44-page report on the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill based on Nicholl's January 1994 survey.
The report describes the background to the project, the mill's location, layout and its structural condition and that of the machinery. A recommended programme of repair is provided which takes into account limitations in resources and the unique nature of the mill's machinery, "aiming to consolidate the structure and machinery as is, with minimum replacement but this only where essential". Aspects of funding are also considered, including the need to secure an income stream from visitors/ additional facilities but retaining the "unique atmosphere of the complex". A conditional budget/estimated costs for the total project is given, the total assessed cost being BBD 196,074.00. The report concludes with a proposed maintenance schedule and suggestions for the future development of the site.
