It looks like the Black Cherry, Prunus Serotina 😊

Whitethorn?

Could be cherry laurel, an invasive shrub like Rhododendrum Ponticum.

We had one in the garden of our last house. I loved it.

It looks like it could be prunus padus, which is also known as bird cherry?

Could it be Laurel although I can’t remember seeing flowers.

Just that please.

A friend suggested Frangula, but that is supposed to be a bush or shrub and this is a tree with very smooth bark and it is over twelve metres tall.

It has small hard fruit that resemble very small cherries and which are nearly black in colour. I doubt they are edible, as not even the birds seem to be keen on them.

The soil it grows in is damp with a lot of clay in it and the tree is in shade nearly all day.
