Would have been useful to see the leaves properly, but I'm 99.9% certain its Trachycarpus fortunei and these are the flowers. There's a photo in my Photos of a large one in flower 2 years ago...

Thanks very much for your input

I would say trachycarpus too, mine is getting ready to flower as well, funny though, with the very cold winter last year, it had almost finished flowering by this time,
this year with a mild winter and summer temperatures in march, and back to winter in april, it,s flowering later, Derek.
