Looks very much like Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii,). Its genus is Pseudotsuga.

Think RangerMatt may be right,Pseudotsuga is easy to id through examining its cones (try and find some) Picea foliage tends to spiral around the stem, this appears to be more horizontal in the photographs?

well with two old dogs, myself and graham saying xmas tree I would not be so quick to continue down the Douglas fir route!

 

If that looks like a dougey fir to ANY of you, you need to get yourselves off to spec savers pronto!

Picea abies, surely no more needs saying, bark foliage and form from those shots is a dead cert

I had a look at a Douglass fir yesterday and the needles are quite a bit longer. If I get time today I will go and take a pic of the cones and post them.
