William Edward Trent

[2] Together with Henry Poston, to whom he was apprenticed, and then his assistant,[1] he was the architect for the Earl of Essex, a Grade II listed public house at 616 Romford Road, Manor Park, London, built in 1902.

[1] These cinemas/theatres included the Regent Theatre, Ipswich, Apollo Victoria Theatre[citation needed] and the Gaumont Finchley (1937), designed with the assistance of his son W. Sydney Trent and R.

When his father became a full-time employee of PCT, his son took over his private practice, retaining him as a consultant.

However, he joined Gaumont British in 1932 to help his father with the huge increase in work with the advent of talking pictures.
