Is it a commercial plantation ?  If so what are the other trees in the stand ? I think its a White pop .

I was trying to look at the trees in the back ground they all look long and straight

The bark is acacia like, but the form of the trunk is too regular and straight.

 

Its not like digital photos cost money is it? The branches/leaves/buds are a much better indicator, get some pics of them next time.

 

Anyway prolly a poplar of some sort.

If you zoom in on the floor, there's a few twigs that suggest pop but the image gets grainy so not sure.  I initially thought ash, too, based on the background trees but ash takes a long time to get that latticed bark pattern and in any case as you point out it's not quite right in this picture.  I don't think this stem is old enough to consider ash regardless.

Acacia, maybe - perhaps the bark seems a little bit grey for it?

 

I think the other one is a small black lab but could be a cross...?

Let me clarify I would have got more pics but sadly the tree seems to be totally dead so no leafs or buds I could see. The woodland it's in does appear to have plenty of pine/poplar in (as Mick mentioned earlier !) But the bark seems quite different which is what has sparked my curiosity

Yes mate it is. Others mainly pine!!

I thought ash at first but it doesn't look big enough or old enough to have developed the diamond pattern.

Fairly young ash I saw today whilst walking the dog. To me doesn't look the same tree.

Tending to agree now I see that. I'm now airing on the side of the pop/pine too. Thanks for that
