Old taps in my mums house had a square boss that engaged in a square

By Jove! I think you're right. I'm not sure how it helps me though,
except to rule out any possibility of uncsrewing the tap from above.

Thanks

When I removed the taps from my cast iron bath they were of the square boss
type described above, and due to access problems and gunged threads ended up
cutting off the top of the tap with an angle grinder - amazingly without
damaging the enamel ! Spent hours trying to removed them before I thought
the unthinkable, then it took perhaps 5 minutes !
