E. Burrows has three paintings of Brighton Works in the Museum's "Glamour of Brighton" exhibition.

The paintings

The three paintings of the locomotive works were produced by Mrs E. Burrows in or around the late 1950s while her husband Maurice George Burrows was Works Manager at Brighton Locomotive Works. Two of the paintings are signed, "EB" and "E Burrows"

We haven't yet obtained much information on Mrs Burrows, but her husband appears in locomotive engineer biographical listings.
