Of course - my mistake, sorry
Both Grey & Italian Alders seem to self-seed very well around the Bristol area;
A. incana is now well-naturalised in the Avon Gorge along the Portway, and as I said there are plenty of young specimens of
A. cordata in the city centre & docks area known as the Waterfront.
I haven't seen so many elsewhere, but I'd imagine the situation is much the same wherever they're popular as street trees.
