"Boarding: A Journey Through Time and Spaces" Step into the world of boarding, where lives intertwine in shared spaces. From Eric Ravilious' captivating artwork depicting "Life in a Boarding House, " to the bustling scenes on Platform 1 at Paddington Station in 1904, each image tells a unique story. Imagine gliding through the tranquil waters of the Llangollen Canal, as a narrow boat gracefully navigates the locks at Grindley Brook. It's a reminder that boarding is not limited to houses or schools; it extends to boats and even historical moments like when the Pilgrim Fathers boarded the Mayflower, embarking on an extraordinary voyage. Education plays a significant role in boarding life, with institutions like Malvern College and Probus School shaping young minds. The interior of Probus School from early 1900s captures an era filled with eager students seeking knowledge. Similarly, Mayo College in Ajmer stands tall as an emblem of education's power across continents. Yet amidst these tales of learning and growth lies another facet—war. In WW1, British troops bravely boarded ships bound for battlefields unknown. Their courage echoes through time as we remember their sacrifices. Beyond education and conflict lie glimpses into luxury travel—a Humber car advertisement enticing us to embark on adventures with style and comfort. Meanwhile, Imperial Airways beckons travelers to experience opulence above clouds—an invitation to board planes destined for far-flung destinations. Returning once more to Paddington Station—this time Platform 3—we witness countless comings and goings throughout history. Each departure signifies new beginnings while arrivals bring reunions or fresh opportunities awaiting those who disembark. As we delve into these images capturing different aspects of "boarding, " we uncover stories that span centuries and continents—a testament to human connections formed within confined spaces. Whether it be sharing laughter over meals or forging lifelong friendships amidst dormitory walls—the essence remains the same. Boarding is not merely a physical act.
