Lovely photos! Your spring is much further advanced than ours, but then we've had quite a cold spell here for the last couple of weeks.
The red flowered shrub is definitely a Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica). You see them quite often in older gardens here. I love the intense colour of their flowers, it's such a contrast to most of the other spring-flowering shrubs. (I suspect the white-flowered shrub is a sloe. It's definitely not mock orange because their flowers are much larger and they don't flower until June.)
