Response from Dr Tristan Bantock "They are indeed Dock Bugs Coreus marginatus."
Thanks Tamar, rather than make another stab in the dark I have contacted the owners of the reference you sent.
Hi Malcolm. I think you have a leaf-footed bug of some type here. I think somewhere in Family Coreidae. I think these look quite a bit like Dock Bugs:

Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs have a different shape and thinner legs and antennae. I'm not very familiar with bugs in the UK.
