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.

Report - Higher Mill, Helmshore

A report on the "Waterwheel to Higher Mill Museum, Helmshore" addressed to Lancashire County Council and made by Nicholls on behalf his employer, Jameson Marshall Limited. The waterwheel was inspected on 5 October 1976 (specifically focused on the wheel and not the rest of the fulling mill) and Nicholls makes recommendations for all the timber components of the wheel to be removed and replaced and provides a schedule of replacement materials required. The estimate for the work comes to £7,885, deploying "three men on average, and complete within 12 weeks from commencement", a full day's work being from 6.30 am to 7.00 pm, the estimate assuming that "simple 'all in' accommodation" could be provided locally.
