When i first saw this spider, i immediately thought Amaurobius, but not entirely sure now, what do you think ? .
Caught climbing up my kitchen wall, near the back-door, Amaurobius territory  ...

Hi,
Aesthetically on the dorsal view of the abdomen I'd agree. Probably A. fenestralis

I think the first is an adult A.similis, so the image in your first post COULD be a juvenile A.similis too. They look quite similar when young apparently. |

There about the same size, 10/12mms long, its unusual to find these wandering about in the open, particularly if its fenestralis, and a female, there very hard to coax out of there lair. |

Look like A similis to me, plenty round here.

I have seen this on delta-intkey http://delta-intkey.com/britsp/images/amau011.jpg. and on leg four i have the same comb as Amaurobius fenestralis, i cant find any legs for similis ... 
Also i have just measured it and its around 8mms, not 12mms as a said earlier ...

The first specimen looks to be an immature Amaurobius sp. couldn't say further on it, the second I would say A. similis.
No.9 Spider
