Report and correspondence - Moulin de Griffet

Letters between Nicholls and Cillian de Buitlear concerning the latter's plans to restore Moulin de Griffet, nr. Pleugriffet, Brittany and Nicholls subsequent visit on 18 July 2003.
Nicholls 8-page report (of which there is also a first draft marked, "keep") notes the mill's location and history before recording the condition of its structure and machinery, noting that the "waterwheel is a lovely regional example of good French millwrighting practice". He concludes that "it would be nice to retain the wheel and primary machinery for posterity", but that there was no commercial milling future in the property, recommending conversion to residential use for the bulk of its space. Consultation with local (French) mill groups is recommended.
