The left front tire began squealing during a left turn. Although I did a cursory check, front end, ball joints etc are all relatively new. Nothing obvious.
I checked the wheel bearing, re-greased and adjusted. Made no difference.
Secondly I had the car aligned, which it was out. Squealing is worse now.

Any suggestions?

Check out your upper a-arm bushings on that side and your brake components for contact. If your strut rod bushings are toast or your tire is rubbing on the flex lines you'll get weird sounds and it's obviously some thing related to that side. Just what kind of alignment shop did you go to anyway? First hint of noises and I'd go right back to give them a second try to do "what they don't know how to do". Come on man, it's a shop that specializes in front end suspensions!
 
Thanks for the reply.
You were right. After a realignment with some patience and understanding all new parts in front end the alignment is perfect.
