Can anyone help out with this please? Looks like a very overgrown shrub.

first I was thinking Magnolia - now im thinking Viburnum - cant pin it down

Cotoneaster?  Frigidus??  Can be quite big.

My first guess was Cotoneaster frigidus but the leaves look too pale and not deeply veined enough. Magnolia was my second guess, and I was hoping someone could clarify.

The two trees are large, about 10m high and spread radii of 6m.

I'm going with Cotoneaster mainly because of the bark but Lord knows which one.  The closest leaf I can find is that of lacteus but that seems only to be a large shrub, not a 10m tree but of course such descriptions are very general.

When you cut it down the wood will be hard and heavy as hell!
