Definitely not Ash (Fraxinus sp.).  Ash have compound leaves.  In your 
sample each leaf is growing separately from a woody stem.

Could be elm (Ulmus sp.), although the serrations in the leaf margin are 
finer than the species I know.  The obvios "mismatch" in the margins on 
either side of the petiole is typical of elm, but might occur in other 
genera.

Beech don't grow anywhere I've lived, so I couldn't say anything about 
that.
