  I agree Cedrus deodara ..... my late parents had a beautiful one in their garden 

  (it was actually  C. deodara 'Aurea') ... they planted it when Wonky was a baby ... it's very big now.  

  
  Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

  Hi glasgowdan

  I've looked at your pictures carefully and can't see any signs of Korean Fir (Abies koreana) ; maybe I'm missing something here (please don't say brain cells)!

  Thanks. Seems the last owners had a thing for evergreens with exotic origins. I'll keep an eye on the size of this and the fir then!

   The korean fir is obscured by the Himalayan. The first photo shows 2 left hand trunks and the korean fir is the right hand straight trunk.  The photo makes it hard to see
