About 520 BB

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The BB index mark traces back to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 5 characters, 520 BB is shorter than most registrations in this era.
