Artistic Career

Frederick James Dent was born on 12 October 1905 at Horbury in Yorkshire. His father, Frederick Dent, had been in business at one time as a professional photographer, and appears to have brought to his work artistic talent and an inventive mind. He exhibited at the Royal Photographic Society and invented a photographic process for making prints on silk; perhaps because he always sought perfection the business failed. He joined the National Telephone Company on the engineering side, and supervised the construction of telephone exchanges at Batley and Horbury. The family came from York where they had been in business as military tailors. Dent’s mother, Sarah Liddle Pearson, came from a family connected with the sea. She won a Bede’s Scholarship and became a school teacher. Her father’s home was in Sunderland and he had held a master’s ticket in sail. The family had opposed the marriage and it was a number of years after they went away together that they were forgiven. It was a small family, consisting of Fred and one sister, and they eventually moved to Leeds when the father became an engineering inspector in the Civil Service. Dent entered the Leeds Boys Modern School (now the Co-education Leeds School) in September 1917 from Blenheim (Leeds) County Primary School. He was an outstanding pupil, and his reports showed that he excelled in every subject that he undertook. His first intention was to follow an artistic career, but towards the end of his school life, and with little more than a year to spare, he changed over to science. His sister recalls the long arguments when their father finally persuaded him that art may be a good hobby but there are better ways of earning a living.
