Popis: Donald Holroyde Hey was born in Swansea in September 1904, the second of three sons born to Arthur Hey and his wife Frances. Arthur Hey (1865-1952) had been born and brought up in Batley, near Leeds in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He attended Batley Grammar School and his scientific ability is evidenced by the award of the Queen’s Prize (established by order of the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education 1861) for the Examination of Science Classes of the Science and Art Department of the Committee of Council on Education. However, his main interest was music which he was taught in Leeds; studying as an external student he obtained his B.Mus. from Durham.
