What variety of fruit cane is this?

Many years ago I planted some sort of berry under my pergola.
It never thrived and I forgot about it.
Over the last 12 months it decided to get on with it and some 'canes' are now about 12ft in length.
It's smothered in flowers and young fruits, but I have no idea what it is.

As you can see it's getting involved with my runner beans too - gonna be a right mess trying to sort it all out later in the year..

Any ideas please folks?

    I recognise that as a variety of blackberry ... trying hard to remember its name ...

    A mug of coffee is helping ... possibly 'Oregon Thornless'.

    Thanks Dove - I don't think I'd have bought a blackberry as were inundated with wild ones them round here that I pick, but it is a possibility.
    I should have mentioned that it has no thorns/prickles and I probably bought it 15 or so years ago

    Well, not long to wait from the looks of things ... if you get blackberries you'll know what it is  ;)
