Default Tree Identification

I walked past this tree yesterday, and wondered what it was.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=52.828887,-1.186917&spn=0,359.999144&t=h&z=21&layer=tc&cbll=5 2.828887,-1.186917&panoid=BdQzSrgJCsQM8C_zrfkG1A&cbp=12,337. 87,,1,5.3

Right now it is about 3 m high. The trunk is silvery white,
peeling slightly. The branches form a true goblet shape, all
pointing upwards, and the newer growth is reddish.

Looks like a good choice for limited space.
