Default What is this plant?

This has been in flower for the last few weeks.
It's growing about 6ft from the road at the base of a retaining wall.
I took these pictures today in a spell of heavy sleet, so didn't take as
much care as I might have done.

Looks like Leucojum vernum known as Snowflakes as apposed to Snowdrops.
