Early scripts suggested they lived Robblesfield way. Their home later was located nearer to Emmedale in the scripts after the self-purpose village was built in 1998.
The Dingles had squatted rent free in a delapitated barn on the land of Holdgates's Farm. Old Mr. Holdgate the viewer never met but we gather he was a bit scatty. He rented his property from the Tate Estate. However when he died in 1995 it came to the attention of Frank Tate that the Dingles hadn't ever paid rent and had even tapped into Holdgate's electricity supply so they got away with paying for utilities. By this time the family had renamed their home "Wishing Well Cottage."
