Tree ID Please

Can anyone help me trying to get an ID on this tree? If you scroll down there are 3 images.

I have inherited a row of these with a recent property move and all the previous owner can tell me is that they have beautiful white blossom in the Spring. 

From the bark I am guessing that it is some kind of Birch?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Just wondering if it could be some sort of cherry plum?

    Not sure Forester2. I know for a fact that it does not bear any fruit and is ornamental only.

    Looks like a prunus to me ? Pissardii.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Is it a prunus cerasifera nigra?

    Thank you very much. It definitely one of this family which is all I needed to know. They are growing alongside an area of ground that I had earmarked for a vegetable plot and I was concerned that they were going to turn into giants and overshadow the whole area. Whichever exact plum they are, they are never going to get too big and so I will just leave them alone.

    Thanks for your help.
