definatly the horse chestnut ---- baby conkers.
they grow in those little furry/spikey covers and when big enough the covers fall off leaving the conker.
sometimes they get blown off the tree with the covers still on, if you open it up you will find a little conker. ;D

Definitley horsechestnut cases.i used to collect them with the nut inside when i worked down drayton manor and sit there opening them up and then shelling the nut so i could eat them.
There must be a tree close by mick thats dropping them or its the squirels doing it.

Well I've learnt something today Mick. I'd have staked my fortune (£3.20) on it being a horse chestnut!
