Thread Name: Songs about Yorkshire & Lancashire
Subject: RE: Origins: Yorkshire / Lancashire
There are huge cultural and linguistic differences within both counties, never mind between the two. It's still possible to identify a dialect to within a mile or two of its source in some of the valleys I know, either side of the hill. So identifying the essence of something as big as a county in a particular song or tune just isn't possible.
