Answers:
is it pyracanthus (sp)
is one in my garden wan me to send you a photo of it
could be pyrocantha. are there any thorns? if there arent thats not it.
my best guess is that its some form of viburnum
Possibly Spiraea nipponica "Snowmound" if it has no scent.
Most of the white flowered summer shrubs are scented (to attract pollinators)
The pyracanthas have finished flowering in the Midlands - mostly looking pretty "dead" now before the berries form.
Osteomeles is an arching shrub with five-petalled flowers but these come in clusters.
Styrax has lots of yellow-centred white flowers in early summer.
abelia?
It is most likely one of the Philadelphus', as they are currently in flower. There are a few varieties, but all have white flowers and a strong perfume, and arching stems. They should be pruned by half immediately after flowering, then the growth it puts on will provide the flowering stems for next year.
