Very nice. I had not seen that before either. Glad you posted it.
Seems it mentioned around 1:30 that Bill bought a house in Holmfirth. Anyone here tracked it down to have a see what it looks like? Curious as to what part of the area he liked enough to get a house there. If it has a nice view of the valley or even Nora's house.

I've just read an old post about Bill Owen's house, it's apparently located along the Dunford Road about a mile out of Holmfirth.
If you go on the Summer Wine bus tour, which leaves from outside Sid's Cafe, they will point it out to you.

Did he actually move to Holmfirth or did he just rent a house there during filming?

Thanks, Louise. Just to be certain since I understand that Bill rented a place to stay while filming. I am asking more about him buying a place to actually want to continue to live there as a resident.
I see Barry asked the question I am seeking too while I was typing.
added:
Looking at a map that should put it about half way between Holmfirth and Hade Edge. Giving him possibly a nice view of both as well as Jackson Bridge.
On a bit of a fantasy tangent here had he not been taken ill and early. It would have been so neat for him to have lived/ retired there and been able to visit the memorable sites and vistas of the area. To of looked back on the fun shenanigans they had will filming the show.
