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.

Could it be a hebe? How tall is the original hedge you saw and do you know
how old it is?

I go with that (Hebe leaves have a funny characteristic boat shape
shape/fold).
