    The Cherry Tree pub is an unassuming local. On a busy road in the Cheshire village of Culcheth, it is a chain-run pub where four shots cost £8, every burger comes with a soft drink, and sport is shown all day on the big screens. It is also a favourite of Andy Burnham, the new prime minister. […] The presence of SUVs and flash cars has steadily increased – in part the spillover from Manchester’s economic renaissance. I do not remember Culcheth being this affluent.
