Saw a rather smart hedge put in by professional gardeners. Under the
laws
of 'gardeners license' I later borrowed some tiny clippings, which are
the
seven alongside the left edge of the window box in the tinypic webpage
below.

Could anyone identify this plant for me please? Many thanks.

It isn't that clear a picture, but could it be laurel?

Thanks for your response. I should have put a coin in to help identify
the size, since the leaves are very much smaller than most laurels I have
ever seen. The leaves are quite small with the biggest only being 30mm
long and 12mm wide and most being a lot smaller than that. The hedge was
about four and half feet tall. I initially made me think it was some kind
of cotoneaster. Grateful for any further advice.
Cotoneaster is possiblility or maybe Box were there any thorns on the
original hedge?
