It could be Crataegus laevigata. If it is close by could you check whether the fruits contain just one nutlet (laevigata) each or 2-3 nutlets (monogyna). It also looks that the thorns are about 3cm but if they go to 8cm it is another species entirely

Sorry I got my ID tips teh wrong way around if it was monogyne it should only have one nut - I am leaning towards a hybrid
