About 1 BN
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The BN index mark traces back to Bolton, now associated with Greater Manchester. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 3 characters, 1 BN sits in a very short collector tier.
