I lived in the NW and NE England (Leeds and Manchester) from 2002 to 2010 (including sharing a flat/house with people from e.g. Widnes, Bradford, Huddersfield and Sheffield) and I have never heard or seen "ye", "thou" or "thee" except in pub names, bible references/quotes and similiar contexts. Maybe it's still used in villages, but they're certainly not in daily use in the cities.
