I have been trying to source a new toilet seat that has square top fixings to replace one that has broken. Twyford have confirmed that they no longer produce or sell them. However, I cannot move the screws that are holdings the fixings to the toilet bowl. Does anyone know of a retailer that might stock an obsolete toilet seat with square fixings?

When you say, Can't move the fixings , you mean they're too badly rusted to undo?
If so, break the plastic away, put tape around the screw onto the pan to protect it and use a junior hacksaw to cut the screw heads off.
Push the remainder of the screw through and get a seat to fit , with fixings that don't need access from below, like these;

Looks to me that any universal bog seat will go on there. Just get ur junior hacksaw out and some grips and cut thro the bolts a mini wizzed will also do it then off to one of the big sheds for a universal big seat
