Yorkshire dialect

[Drago]

I vaguely recall a Will Hay film with a Garman spy asking for "Sluff" instead of Slough.

I watched this last night.

It was about Hannah Hauxwell,a Yorkshire farmer living a hard solitary life in the Yorkshire dales many years ago.
My question is what sort of accent does/did she have? To me there's a bit of Welsh/Irish and summat else in there. It doesn't sound like Yorkshire to me.🤔

it's one she picked up from her parents, which's evolved all on its own in her isolation up in the far reaches of her remote Yorkshire dale... where the wilds of Yorkshire mix with SW Durham and Westmorland!

Ecky Thump
That's the ancient Lancastrian martial art, isn't?, as immortalised by The White Stripes (??) on one of their CDs
