Amazingly Cool! But I can't remember the scientific name...
Old Willow of some sort? Corkscrew?
Dig it and pot it up.

Without having a look at the leaves, it could be one of the very many cultivars of different species.

The bulges at the bottom of the limbs show it was grafted.

Could be a prunus of some sort planted as a street tree for the flowers in spring and the "umbrella" canopy the rest of the year.

Here, there are a few old weeping ash (Fraxinus excelsior 'Pendula') you can see in grdens, they seem to have been very popular at the beginning of the 20th century.

Thanks everyone for the input. If I remember correctly a few months ago the leaves were quite large and almost round.

Can anyone tell me what these trees are? View attachment 126732View attachment 126733
My first guess is a Beech: Fagus sylvatica "Pendula".
My second guess is Birch: Betula pendula "Youngii".

To distinguish one from the other you may have to get a good look at the leaves the first chance you get. Note the difference in the way the veins run:
