Cheshire Life

An amusing review, well done! I've lived in Stockport and Wilmslow all my life and know a little about it all.

The magazine itself has a very long shelf life, and can be found in dentist waiting rooms etc. all over the County. It is a beautifully produced publication with high quality photos and articles. It does however, only represent what is now a diminishing culture in Cheshire. The rich and sometimes 'vulgar' north of the County, i.e. Wilmslow, Bramhall, Alderley Edge, Prestbury etc. has seen huge changes in recent years. People of true wealth and taste have partially been replaced by others who may find this magazine irrelevant. There are unique pockets in Cheshire which seem timeless, i.e. Nantwich, Tarporley, Alsager, parts of Chester etc. The average person in the far North, i.e. Stockport would be totally disconnected from Cheshire Life. They are more Manchester Evening News people. I myself have advertised in the magazine with various results. I stopped advertising on principle due to the activities of one of the owners of the magazine (a former estate agent). The most successful and useful aspect of Cheshire Life must be to Wedding Advertisers and those of slightly more affluence planning to wed. I hope it continues during continuing changing times in Cheshire.
