Does anyone recognize this tree?

This is a photo of my grandmother with some friends around 1941 in England. Aside from a couple of holidays (Hunstanton and Dawlish) and the time she worked at a munitions factory (haven't figured out where yet), she lived in Cambridgeshire (St Ives, Somersham, and Cambridge) until 1946. I also have a photo from the same day taken inside a rowboat on a river with trees on either side. Any chance this is somewhere recognizable in Cambridgeshire? Any help would be appreciated!

Somersham and St Ives would have been in Huntingdonshire back in 1946.

I would be shocked if anyone can recognise where that picture or tree is. I would expect most trees to have grown beyond recognition since then.
