Can you help me identify the following tall shrubs? They seem to be
pretty common, and usually found overhanging a wall.

First is Hydrangea petiolaris as already suggested, this is a self
clinging climber I thought the second was Cotoneaster until the weeping
pear was suggested so I obviously don't now that!



Id agree Charlie, but the second is some form of Cotoneaster, the
flowers are to small and to numerous for weeping pear.
If it is pear then you should find some thorns on the stems
