Potlatch 2's improved (not deployed yet) shapefile background layers asks
you for the projection before loading, rather than relying on the .prj file.
For OSGB it uses:

'EPSG:27700': "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 +x_0=400000
+y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy +datum=OSGB36 +units=m +no_defs"
"OSGB36": {towgs84:
"446.448,-125.157,542.060,0.1502,0.2470,0.8421,-20.4894", ellipse: "airy",
datumName: "Airy 1830"}

cheers
Richard
