Looks like hyacinths to me. Right time of year as well, a bit early for English bluebells
In the sticks near Peterborough
They're not native bluebells I'm afraid. Habit and shape is wrong.
An easy way to tell is the pollen. Native ones have creamy pollen - the Spanish invaders have blue.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Yes - too early nut - I'd forgotten that.
They look like the ones that are a cross between the natives and the Spanish ones. Or did you mean just Hyacinths? They look a bit 'bare', if you know what I mean

From pictures and reading could they be the transforming from British to Spanish my fathers convinced they are British and they came from his uncles farm 30 odd years ago I'm only trying to establish as I want to replant British Bluebells on my mothers resting place in a natural burial ground which why any help and advice is important to ensure I get it right for her
Might they be a type of Scilla? It's the time of year for them
This is an English Bluebell, yours are not the same, it's too early for B as said before. I would suggest buying a pack for your needs.?
100% hyacinths
I say hyacinths too.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
They lose that top-heavy look when they've been in the garden for a few year Fairy
