    I think the first is Whitebeam ... Sorbus aria. 

    Cant really see the second clearly enough. Sorry.

    Thank you very much.

    Apologies for the quality of the photos - if it helps the second one has lots of small pink flowers...

    Possibly a Crataegus?  Do some googling and see what you think ...

    Might the second one be hawthorn?

    Thank you all, I think definitely hawthorn, not what I think of when I think of hawthorn at all!

    Hawthorn = Crataegus 😊

    Your post wasn’t there when I posted, @Dovefromabove. Sorry.

    Nothing to be sorry for @pitter-patter 😊 ... I was just aiming for clarity. It’s my fault ... I should’ve put both names in my post as I did with the hornbeam 😊

    In face to face conversations I wouldn’t have repeated what you’ve said... but it’s impossible to tell someone is typing at the same time. Hopefully we were right and could help with the identification. 🙂

    I think you were right, when it flowers I’ll have another google search! Thank you for your help both!
