About 870 CKY

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The KY index mark traces back to Bradford, now associated with West Yorkshire. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 6 characters, 870 CKY is a standard-length registration for this era.
