[1][2][3] In 1890 Holden and her sister Violet attended the Birmingham School of Art where Edith was already enrolled.

The family moved to Gowan Bank, a house much closer to the train line making the daily commute into the city a simpler process.

The Holden family regularly held seances and put on theatrical productions in the chapel in the garden.

Arthur Holden's financial situation was in difficulty and the smaller house was unavoidable although in 1905 they returned to the larger Gowan Bank.

One book they produced was The House That Jack Built And Other Nursery Rhymes.
