White Bluebells,
garden variety escape?

They're on the same, small scrap of neglected land as the plant in my last post, benefitting from the shade of a mature Oak tree.

I've not seen white ones in the wild (or for sale as garden varieties), pink ones are common in the wild though.

Found this though: The rare white bluebell

Under the ancient horse chestnut tree in our village are masses of bluebells, pink bells and white bells.

I've never seen one before and this one is clearly self sown or seeded judging by where it is.

Pretty common (white, pink)

Unfortunately they have gone over now or I’d have taken some photos for you, Andy.

The Natural History Museum told me it was roughly one in ten thousand would be white. I see them quite often, and given the density of blue flowered forms, the odd one here and there is about right. If pink, then look for signs of hybridity with Spanish Bluebell.
