The John Burrough Collection
A series of photos taken during John’s time at the Harvey 1957-81
John Burrough was one of the best teachers of English to work at the Harvey. He studiously avoided all promotion and concentrated his efforts on his class-room and he was a beacon of common sense in the staff-room.
Few knew of his heroism in the war which led to his being awarded the DFC. The boys called him “Bunnie” and he was regarded with universal affection and respect. He was also, as his photographs show, a brilliant photographer.
We will be publishing a range of his pictures in the coming weeks which form part of the School Archive and we need your help in identifying and dating some of the faces, as well as information about their life post-school.
