There is a good article re. Burrow, under the heading; "Cornish Mining
Interviews", in "The Cornish Post & Mining News", February 20th, 1896.
This may have been reproduced in book form? In addition there have been
a few articles 'about' him and or underground photography in various
mining history journals et al. As a pioneer (I think) of a particular
photographic-printing process his work esp., "Mongst Mines & Miners" is
well known to historians of photography.
