The original farmhouse being vacated in 1993.

The Emmerdale ITV repeats are now up to Jan 1993 and the vacation of the original Emmerdale Farm.

In real life, farmer Arthur Peel retired and the new owners would not allow filming to carry on.

I suppose they could have found a way to keep the iconic farmhouse in the show such as build a cheapish but realistic replica somwehere, (in the same style as the EastEnders set or the first Corrie outdor set), or even used stock shots, or found a lookalike farmhouse.

Happy Days.   The most famous Farmhouse kitchen in the UK.

That farmhouse appeared in the first series of Where the Heart is!

As for Emmerdale Farm, maybe they should have built a set, they ended up owning a farm on that land where the village is now, would it have been too hard to have remodelled that to look like it?

Home And Away kept the interior of Summer Bay House when the real life house was razed in a fire. H&A used stock shots. About 5 years ago a replica house was built, not as a H&A set but as a copy of the original real life location in Sydney, and the residents allow H&A to film there, bringing back the exterior.
