Report - Six Mile Bottom Post Mill
A co-authored Millwrights International Limited report for East Cambridgeshire County Council on Six Mile Bottom Post Mill following an inspection and survey in July 1980. A detailed assessment of the condition of the mill is given together with repair proposals and an estimated budget for the work of £14,000 - £16,000. Nicholls acknowledges background information provided by Rex Wailes and Henry Wozniak. Details of the mill's history are give, referencing its current owner (Delamere Estate) and its Grade II listing in Spring 1980 and hence, East Cambridgeshire County Council's role in ensuring its protection, Nicholls describing its general appearance as "lost, forlorn and forgotten; a real disgrace to a structure so full of historical detail and constructional interest. In this respect she is unique". Reference is made to previous discussions with Mills International Limited about moving the whole structure to a rural life museum as a last resort

Report - Cross-in-Hand Post Mill
A report for East Sussex County Council on the Cross-in-Hand Post Mill following an inspection made on 8 February 1979 which describes the present condition of the mill's structure and provides a summary of the work proposed. Detailed costings are provided, amounting to an estimate of £27,350. Nicholls remarks on this being a considerable amount of money, but for a considerable schedule of work. The use of volunteers for some of the work is suggested, Nicholls commenting, "...and although this decreases the Millwrights income, it may help in funding the overall project". He concludes, "We trust, however, that you will proceed to get a programme under way. Cross-in-Hand is an excellent mill, and should be saved".
