Did Emmerdale build a new Home Farm set?
Haven't seen Emmerdale in ages, but I know Home Farm was set on fire and so on, but have they built a totally new building for it?

Looks the same to me, just without all the ivy covering the front.
![]() They did build a copy of it to burn down, but I am pretty sure that is the same house. |

I honestly don't blame them for moving, for the reasons I just mentioned, it's just sad that Emmerdale's only original remaining set seems to have been phased out. |

I don't know then, could Emmerdale have paid for the brickwork to be restored as it would have been in the show after the fire?
Plus it's pretty easy to cover paving with gravel. So that's not an indication of anything. I don't see that they could afford to build another home farm. |

OCTOBER 2013:
A new version of Emmerdale's Home Farm could be built as part of upcoming plans for an "exciting" stunt. Although plans for the latest dramatic storyline are being kept under wraps for now, the ITV show's bosses have applied for planning permission for a 12-month temporary film set. |

It seems like that is the one for the stunt Home Farm, unless it counts the new one too, and they plan to renew it or something.

It is a brand new set. Doing a bit of googling, I found the site for the company who have provided the roof slates.
http://www.greysartstone.co.uk/news.html It's a shame to say goodbye to Creskeld Hall after 40 years, but from a production point of view it makes sense to cut down location filming and have all their sets on the Harewood Estate. |

Ahh well, it makes sense for them to build their own home farm set given how important a part it plays in the show. It's good to see they've done this but also sad that Creskeld Hall will no longer be used, it was the last link we had with old Emmerdale really.

Yes, they're still using the facade they built for the fire episodes. They were granted planning permission to build a temporary structure to use for a year, so they're probably just trying to get their money's worth out of it.
I'd very much doubt it's meant to be permanent. |

I don't think it's the facade from the fire. The stonework is a lighter colour.

How would they transition from how the new Home Farm looks back to how Creskeld Hall looks though?
The facade looks ridiculous on-screen, it doesn't look to scale and it is only the partial front of Home Farm. They've been using builders huts and vans etc to hide this fact. |

There's been no transition from Creskeld Hall to the current facade. It didn't burn to the ground so there's no reason for the current different look.

But they've started using the facade now, the fire does explain why the brickwork and everything else looks different, since they would have had to have rebuilt some parts destroyed by the fire. It'd look weird if they just transitioned back to using Creskeld Hall later this year as it looks a lot different to the current Home Farm.

They probably plan on renewing the application, and perhaps adding permission to build an actual structure, rather than a facade.
Unless all we're going to see of Home Farm from now on is an obstructed view of the front door area. |

It looks the same to me but didn't realise it was a new set.

If you follow that logic then the facade was used for the fire so it already looked different before the fire and the rebuild.
http://cdn.itv.com/uploads/editor/me...qDBbq8wwUs.jpg Those parts of the building are the only main parts which are show often, the rest is shown a bit less frequently Quote:
I'd very much doubt it. I can't see how they would justify a permanent replica for the few scenes they would need outside Home Farm. The Home Farm front is a wide spread and they'd need to recreate the grounds, driveway, garden archs. It would cost more than building the village did. The facade was in a large field, so there would be room to put the driveway and everything in too, it might look less grand, but in the long run, they can personalise the building a lot more than they could with a Grade II listed building. Half the time they did stunts there they had to build new facades, hell, they even had to build one on top of the office so that Tom King could fall out of a window.Unless all we're going to see of Home Farm from now on is an obstructed view of the front door area. http://cdn.itv.com/uploads/editor/me...FGFP4PiDeI.jpg Hell, this link from earlier in the thread basically even says that ITV used the fire as an opportunity to move the set http://www.greysartstone.co.uk/compo...home-farm.html They wouldn't rebuild the facade just because they got permission to build one for the fire, they'd have just gone back to using Creskeld. |

Afterwards they needed to show a Home Farm where work was being done to it. They couldn't use the real location for that either. Quote:

Has it been established that the new Home Farm is Creskeld Hall or not? It's hard to tell, since they've not shown much of it.

![]() Hadn't even noticed anything different about it tbh - there seems to be a lot of eagle-eyed viewers around tbh. Didn't even realise the set was new, either
