It's a very clear photo. I can cancel the snowberry idea and the one I had re the snowberry relative. Callicarpa is a possibility but it looks greyer than I remember, (I haven't got one now). Hugh might be able to say for sure now.
I still favour Snowberry but that is based as much on the fact as to what else could it be? I think the fruits have become discoloured, they are clustered like Snowberry and the leaves are opposite and the new shoots hairy. I am visiting a tree collection over the next few days and will try to check out snowberry there.

Snowberry normally suckers from the base, producing lots of shoots.
A less blurred photo might help here. leaves, stems, whole bush

I think the last one is Centaurea...which has either pink / blue flowers in summer which bees and butterflies love
3 pheasant berry?
Hi again, pictures above are close ups of the pink berry shrub plant above. Hopefully these are a little clearer. ????

I've just been out to look at my snowberry and it looks nothing like that
It could be something uncommon. people grow some very unusual shrubs.

Okay, always good to eliminate these things and we like a challenge!
We certainly do
