According to local speculation an elderly lady, as yet still unidentified, helping disabled children because she herself had lived in a family with disabled sisters whom became subject to the Mental Health Act. The sisters were allegedly sectioned for mental health when they should have been looked after for disablement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Council for Disabled Children )〕 This was the motivation for opening Holly Bank, and with financial assistance from the Smith Homes Trust, was the first school for disabled children built in the North of England. Other schools followed in Harrogate and Leeds. In 1990, the school re-located to Roe Head in Mirfield, Yorkshire, a town situated between Huddersfield and Dewsbury and it became a registered charity in its own right (Hollybank Trust) in 1994. Part of the Hollybank Trust, has connections with the Bronte Sisters. The Roe Head property in Mirfield which the Hollybank Trust acquired in 1990 was a former Victorian boarding school for girls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Bronte Society )〕 In 1831, Charlotte Bronte was enrolled at the Roe Head school of Miss Wooler, and subsequently went on to be Wooler's assistant three years later.
