These "square" satellite dishes were used by British Satellite Broadcasting, the competitor to Sky before their merger. I have previously posted a picture to [[SJ8995]] thinking I'd spotted one in Gorton, but the true nature of the item was called into doubt. I'm no longer sure it was the genuine article! This is - it bears the BSB logo and points in the right direction. Location is corner of Astley Road and Liverpool Road, Irlam. SJ716935
