Any thoughts on what this is, looks like a poplar.
I assumed it was a poplar with the shape of the leaves and the fine teeth but those fruits I assume are not right for a poplar.

That's interesting as I have seen Lindens before and it never occurred to me it might be one although the fruits are right. The limes I have seen I recall as having more papery leaves, pronounced narrow tips and are cordate and oblique at the base.

I'm certainly not sure Rhys as I've never had a Linden tree myself. Like you, I thought the leaves had a similar waxy look to a Populus. Someone will know.....

Maybe a form of Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana)?

Thanks for that. The Callery Pear definitely looks like the right one (I have added a photo from the web which looks just like it). Great to learn what it is as I will be able to spot that in future as the fruits are very different from poplar.

Looks like Tilia or Linden to me. Try googling that and see what you think. :)
