Since I posted I got close. My neighbour informed me that a "gaff" is a flat or small house, apartment etc in English parlance. But now you've set me straight.

Most of the terraced houses have been knocked down now Baz, and the ones that remain are mostly occupied by Asians and Eastern Europeans.
They don't care about a nicely scrubbed step....

Strange looking back on that series though isn't it.Probably even more strange for those who you say now occupy the remaining terraced houses,
they really must wonder what life was all about in those days!
Things change though but not necessarily for the better – after all who wants a dirty step!

Last of the Summer Wine was shot in Holmfirth.
It is an expensive place to live and the terraces are still there.
