Hi, Jimmytheone, thank you so much for your reply. I have put another photo on of the shrub that wasn’t clear, hopefully you might be able to recognise it. Thank you very much

the first one looks like a lilac. is it in flower now or was it earlier in the year?
the other 2 are as Jimmy says.

Hi Seaburngirl, this was taken on Tuesday this week . We did think maybe lilac. Thank you for clarifying that for me. Much appreciated

If it is a Lilac then it could be one called S. penda. Highly scented if it is, but to me the flowers look a bit well spaced out along the stem to be Lilac.

Hywel , thank you for your reply. I did put a pic on of the whole plant but it’s disappeared! It’s quite bushy with a few of the flowers in the above pic growing taller than the rest.
Update , I’ve found another pic , not a brilliant one but you can see hoe the whole plant looks.

Can't see the first shrub clearly but second is Leycesteria Formosa (Pheasant's Berry) and the third is Acanthus Mollis (Bear's breeches).
