I did think their was one which also flowered winter time

Looks like a rhododendron of some flavour....just not sure of the flavour!!

...but it's very common for spring-flowering plants to have a second flush in autumn; viburnum is particularly good at it, mahonia too.

 

Sorry, don't know this one but I reckon not pieris.

Good shout. Osmanthus x burkwoodii - what I've got 10 yards from my back door, also in flower.

 

woody paul, the crunch will be variety of leaf shape: most of them will be smooth edged but some, especially new ones, will be holly like, with deep serrations leading to points between them.
