BSB dishes / squarials that are still in place

[Analoguesat]

Some of you must know where there are BSB dishes still in place. Go and take some pics and post them here - lets celebrate the survival of these old relics! :-worship

This is my first one:

Used to be on the High Street in Galashiels town centre It was on the Granada / Box Clever shop next to the Harrow pub Sadly it was removed during shop renovations in April 2008

The second picture shows one of the mini circular dishes. These have a diameter of about 45cm - and pre-date the Sky "minidishes" by nearly 10 years! This one has had its LNB cable cut through at some point.It's next door to the "Gluepot" pub in Overhaugh Street in Galashiels

Here is a rather sad, overgrown squarial round the back of the old Comet store - (next door to the big Tesco's superstore) in Galashiels town centre. This pic was snapped September 2004 and shows the dish rapidly being hidden by an elderberry tree


Its still there and increasingly overgrown.

This one was sent to me a couple of years ago by David C who says:

"the squariel is on Market Street in Nelson, Lancashire, on the back of 'Thoughts, Cards and Gifts' opposite the Lord Nelson Pub."

Heres one i spotted on a pub in the Warrington area. Its at the back of Lidl near the town centre.

 

[Analoguesat]

Excellent

Here are two more i found around the same area. The one on the chimney i spotted in the distance and had to zoom right in, you can just about see that there is also a 60cm old sky dish on there too.

Last one ive got a picture of this is on a house in the Birchwood area of warrington.
I know of a few more BSB Squarials and even some of the small dishes in the Cheshire area just not taken pictures yet but i will.
