Is this a type of Laurel?

I’ve been chopping down a load of cherry Laurel, and this one has similar trunk but the leaves are slightly different. Does anyone know what this one is?

Looks like holly to me, but photo is a bit blurry.

+1 for holly. It often produces those thornless leaves on long straggly stems when growing in a thicket.
