Completely disagree. The Pennine/West Riding accent (or slight variations thereof) extend all the way from Sheffield to the Lakes, including parts of Lancashire around Lancaster. This is the archetypal Northern accent.
I live in the hills above Manchester, not far from Oldham, and I say scone rhyming with cone.
However, my particular village was historically in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cheshire, all at the same time. I'm in the Lancashire bit, and I can still see Cheshire, but Yorkshire moved away a bit so I can't see that.. I think it's just over the horizon?

Oops, that’s what happens when you post when you get home from the pub on Friday evening Yes, you’re correct - Haworth is definitely just west of Bradford - but scone definitely rhymes with con around these parts, not cone We also call a fish cake from the chippie a scone in the Keighley area too
