Uppingham by the Sea: A Narrative of the Year at Borth
Transcribed from the 1878 Macmillan and Co. edition by David Price
"Uppingham by the Sea: A Narrative of the Year at Borth" by John Huntley Skrine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work narrates the unique and challenging experience of Uppingham School, which was forced to relocate to Borth, Wales, following a fever outbreak in their hometown. The narrative captures the trials, adaptations, and relationships formed by students and staff during their temporary exile. The opening of the narrative sets the stage by recounting the background of the school’s forced relocation due to health concerns. It introduces key figures, including the Headmaster, Rev. Edward Thring, and outlines the urgency and decision-making that led to this unprecedented move. As the characters prepare to embark on this journey, the descriptive prose hints at the blend of anxiety, excitement, and uncertainty that accompanies their change in circumstances, foreshadowing the various challenges they will face as they strive to maintain educational standards and morale in an unfamiliar environment.
