2 blue flowers in overgrown plot - ID please

I recently noticed an overgrown and isolated plot of land next to a walkway that I regularly use. My attention was drawn by the large number of sunflowers growing there. The garden sized area is bounded by the former railway, now a walkway, 2 cultivated field and a stand of trees and bushes. The plot has no obvious access. I had to go further down the path, cross into one of the fields and double back towards the area.
My main interest was the sunflowers but I noticed and took pics of the two flowers shown below.
The first 2 show the flower head and stem/leaf of a fairly robust plant, the other two are of a slender plant showing the flower and an attempt to indicate leaf and structure.
I suspect that the site may once have been a garden and therefore the plants are ffrom ormer cultivation. I have no idea where the house may have been. Does anyone recognise the 2 plants please?
