Resembles holly ?
I think your own suggestion is right :)
Here is a link to read more about the English Holly (Ilex aquifolium) http://www.commanster.eu/commanster/Plan...
It is an interesting plant/tree :)
This looks like it has been cut down or broken and has started to regrow. They would normally be showing signs of flowering now with the red berries appearing in autumn.
