The first looks like ash, but the leaves are wrong.

The 2nd I havent a clue what it is. I plucked some of the flowery
processes off to peek inside, as is shown. The pic was taken a day
after picking, and the light green fruity thing in the centre is going
brown in the pic.

fingers crossed, NT

The first is an Acer. Can not tell which speices from the single leaf shown.
The second is the fruit of Plane (Platanus x acerifolia is most common
species)
R.

You beat me to it. The original poster should note that the samaras
(keys) of maples (Acer) are in pairs, rather single as in ashes
(Fraxinus).

I know its a Maple, but think Sycamore for 1



I think No.1 is a Sycamore. It may be worth noting that the black spot
on the leaf is Acer Tar Spot. Not much you can do about it, except keep
it away from decorative acers if you grow any.
