Celia.....I also thought perhaps a cotoneaster. I've never been familar with that group, but there is a large cotoneaster of a different variety in that immediate area and someone at one time in the past was a gardener here. It looks as though they had a mixed shrub border in front like I'm doing to provide privacy from the road. There was this large cotoneaster, these two shrubs and holly also. The hollies either died or were taken out long go, I'm still finnding a few seedlings now. I've added Luma apiculata and Halleria lucida to that border and left these two unknown shrubs to see what they developed into.....I think Janet may be correct with her thought of lonicera.....
Lonicera...wow. that's a surprise for me. Certainly looks like that could be it...had no idea there was lonicera like this! Now I can maybe see what to expect as far as ultimate height, etc....
Thank you both for such quick responses!
