Agree with 3.
Think 4 is a Convolvulus.

Number 1 is a Sweet chestnut, Castanea sativa. Number 4 is Covolvulus minor. Number 2 and 3 escape me but might struggle up through the grey matter eventually.
2 is impossible for me because there's nothing to indicate scale and no detail visible.

Agree with Pansy Face for Number 3.
Fairly certain that 4 is Convolvulus tricolour.

Number 2 looks like a willow of some sort?
I think you are right for no. 1, 3 & 4 too, thank you for helping us to identify them. The problem with trying to identify no. 2 is that the background sky is a similar colour to the tree, it was a dull, grey day. The tree was approx. 15 feet tall, not one that I had ever noticed before and rather odd looking too. It was next to the sweet chestnut tree, both behind a 6 foot hedge.
Is the tree alive and green GD? it looks leafless which should be a clue. I wonder about Genista aetnensis.

I think it is alve Nutcutlet. It is a greeny blue/grey colour, no leaves that we could see, it is in a garden quite close to our home, behind a hedge, so we could only see the top part of the plant - it is just such an unusual looking plant and we felt the need to put a name to it.
