Just wondering if anyone had any clue what this tree was from the leaf, it was on the smaller side and unfortunately I don't have further pictures, I was wondering if it was a lime, but i couldn't seem to find anything that has the furryness like this does
Thanks!

Definitely not a Lime and the leaves look like those of the Sallow but if you look at how the leaf stem joins the leaf in the top picture it does not look like the leaves in your second picture.
agree not lime and those buds/seeds aren't any sort of willow.
It stretches my imagination to take the first and second photos as the same tree.
The leaf veining in the first divides to five at the base, the second has a central rib with smaller veins coming off.
Is that what you see Ladybird?

Yes nutcutlet. In my mind they are two separate tree leaves.
Mine too - very confusing
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm toying with the idea of a rather battered sycamore leaf for the first picture?
Oh really? It is strange as there was a lot of that leaf underneath the tree! I am more interested in the second picture as I have never come across something that furry. Sorry the pictures are not great, more would of made it easier. Thanks for your help
Not paulownia, is it? The leaves on the top, more mature growth, will be much smaller than those on younger trees. Flower looks right. It'll be flowering next spring. The big leaf looks right for it.

I would say the top is sycamore and the bottom is eleagnus ebingii.

Just had a look, i think you are right, looks like Paulownia (Foxglove tree), the furry buds seem to fit and the shape of the leaf too! Thankyou!
It's a mighty tree when given the space and climate. Can get damaged by frost in spring, but worth having one if you have the space. If coppiced, they produce vigorous new growths and HUGE leaves. H-C
