County / town reg plates

Can you remember the old prefixes on the reg plates prior to the new style we have now
my home town of Hull had TRH PKH HRH KAT etc, etc. Cn you remember your Town or City as when I was driving
I could recognise some like Preston Lancs had the prefix PRN etc from the rear reg plate

Regards
Best wishes for Xmas and New Year

Now I would have thought a “pot thrower” like you John would have known what the initials FA stand for!!! I had a cherished reg.for many years DES54 which had come from Perthshire.Also a couple of BTS nos, which came from up there somewhere as well. Dennis.

walsall was “DH”

Gloucestershire had DD, DF, DG and FH. I lived near Chippenham at the time (early seventies…) then local government faffed about with the county boundaries and we got Bristol regs then…HU, HW, HY and in the later seventies TC and WS…

Merry Christmas to all

Manchester/Salford was BA-RJ-NA—Oldham BU

Oxfordshire had BW, FC, JO, UD,WL
Now got OY,OU,and I think OV

Here’s an interesting site that gives the history behind it all :wink:
