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
