These are mostly northern accents, Yorkshire, Manchester and Chester respectively I believe.
The range of accents in England (let alone Britain) is almost ridiculous, with accent/dialect/pronunciation changing sometimes almost beyond recognition from one town to the next! And I don't mean slight variations (which there are even more of) but massively different! So when you say "a lot" of people this is somewhat difficult to calculate.
For instance, the cities of Liverpool and Manchester are pretty much next door to each other (maybe 30 miles from one city centre to the other) but the accents are really different.
