Thanks people, yes they are definately Red Robins (Photinia).  Next question, any ideas where to buy 2 large (2m tall approx) Red Robins online?  We prefer the 'lillipop' style, with the single, trimmed trunk and the ball at the top (just because it will suit our garden more)

Photinias want to be big shrubs.  You'll be constantly pruning trying to keep them to a relatively small ball.

I have seen dwarf photinia 'little red robin' so that might be a good idea if you don't want a huge one. Also I've seen variegated photinia which looks great and should be slower growing as well. Lollipop style is called a standard. Like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/YouGarden-Photinia-Little-Robin-Standard/dp/B00TXHVWIA
