@mofi500 hit the nail on the head.

Interestingly, this dialect is close (relatively speaking) to the way English might have sounded several hundred years ago. There's a good reason for this. People in rural areas, at least until recently, tended to have much stronger social ties to the people around them, which results in dialects such as this maintaining.

In cities or urban areas, there are still dialects (just think of Liverpool), but there's a much higher chance of influence from others.

Honest to god, the strangest accent in the country. In a good way of course. To me it's like a mix between Stoke and Brummie. So hard to imitate.
