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.

Probably Leucojum vernum, the spring snowflake. If you google for pics
of it you may recognise it.
