Moved house recently, not too far away, only from Dalton to Barrow. New house is about 36m above sea level (old one was 63 metres) but with a clear take off to the south. The WAB square hasn't changed, it's still SD27 but my locator square is now IO84JC instead of JD.
VHF/UHF antenna is a Watson W300 2m/70cm vertical on the chimney and for HF a 5/8 silver rod CB aerial tuned for 29 MHz (not the Diamond CP6 in the picture, I took that down in July 2007 because it was damaged), the silver rod is in the same place as the CP6.
Main equipment for at home is a Yaesu FT8900 for 10m, 6m, 2m, 70cm FM and an Alinco DX77 for the HF bands.
I use an Icom IC2800 in the car (2m, 70cm FM), it has one of the best displays on any mobile radio but not available any more.
I'm into Summits On The Air and have activated over 100 different summits.
