Thanks for the suggestions John D and Tottenhamgirl, but don't think that it is a Rhus or Rhododendron unless it is a particular species or cultivar that I don't know - suggestions please!

Let's see what this turns up. (Thanks to our polar explorer, Mark Brandon, for the tip).

My guess would be Rhododendron too, from the flowers and leaves.

Thanks I'll go back and have another look to see if it looks different and get a close-up.

Tottenhamgirl and Alison P you were both dead right. Sorry I took so long to get back to you! - but your expertise was appreciated.
