I'd go with Hibiscus syriacus, I've just been out and had a look at my
Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau bleu', the structure and seed pods looks very
similar to your photos, so I thought I'd take a picture of it:

(I held up a white card behind the seed head, else it wouldn't stand out
against the browns of the beech hedge behind it).

Here's a picture of it in full flower, along with leaf detail:

Perhaps you didn't see the link to the picture of the leaves of the plant in
question? They're not remotely like a Hibiscus, unfortunately and seem to
resemble a hazel more closely!
