photographs of Frog Lane Colliery

There is evidence to suggrst there are over 41 underground shots of Coalpit
Heath by Burrows (plus a number of Easton)
I am trying to sort out which pictures are from which mine, where original
prints are etc.
So far I have tracked down 36 prints which I am relatively confident are
from Coalpit Heath plus 6 from Easton Colliery in Bristol. (there has been
some confusion in the past with the same picture being claimed to be from
two pits but I think I have resolved these.
I am not sure where John Cornwalls copies of the Burrows prints came from
and he is a little cagey about giving details. I have however managed to
track down originals of all but opne of the pictures in his book from other
sources. If anyone knows of other collections I would be grateful
