My pear tree

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify what's wrong with my pear tree. I've had the tree about 6 years. It's planted in a little area with Apple, Plum and a Cherry Trees.
However, it's the only one which has this nasty leaf infection and though it blossoms every year. It produces no fruit.
Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can make my pear tree better? I'd hate to loose it.

Those stains are rust
And much dicussed.
This site has seen
That good hygiene
Is much the best way
To clear it away.
So don't despair
You'll keep your pear!
Clear up the stained leaves, dispose of them by burning or whatever, but not on the compost heap. Sprays are inneffective, we've found, but looking after the tree, keeping it well fed and watered are the best remedies.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Wow, H-C! Great rhyme
How long did it take you to think that one up?
Lette78, take a look at the pear rust thread started by EmilyJEG - everything that you want to know can be found there.
All the best

Pears need a pollinator, in addition to your rust problem.
