This article suggests it's Openreach FTTP:

Winsford is also on the Openreach Fibre First "market towns and villages" list:

Sounds hopeful.

And certainly better than finding it put up inside your house.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk. Domains, site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Three 4G, tbb tests normally 35-45Mpbs down, 65Mbps off-peak, 9-24 up.

It’ll say BT on the side of the pole if it’s an Openreach pole.

Have a look at the side a few metres up and you’ll see some carvings. It’ll be Openreach though.

Take a picture of the markings and put a link on here, I’ll happily decipher for you.

If it is new, and not replacing another in exactly the same location, then a notice MUST be fixed to it that tells people how they can object to the installation within 30 days. BT can install poles wherever they wish without up front planning permission or authority however, if objections are raised it will then be reviewed.
