Tree identification help please

If anyone can help identify this tree I would be grateful. It is dark green leaved, has small golden berries which are held in clusters. There are thorns on the branches - not many of them though and they are usually around 2 inches max. It is in a shady position and is currently around 8-10 feet tall. And I am inland in the northwest of England.

Looks like Pyracantha by the berries, leaves and thorns.

Agree with Jimmy Pyracantha, mountain ash does not have thorns.

Looks like an ash tree, a mountain ash tree. I know that you are from the UK and what I don't know is whether or not this tree is present there.
