When I grew up near a town of 6000 people in northern Ireland in the 70's there were four distinct accents. Partly because there were two different recent growth phases to the town that brought in new people (from other parts of northern Ireland).

The much older inhabitants had a more Elizabethan grammer and a mix of Irish/Scots Gaelic + old English nautical vocabulary.
