Parking Meters Introduced - from our story 'Calvert And Kinneir’s Road Signs And Design Classics'

Yvonne Brecher examining a newly-installed parking meter fitted with an aparently incongruous 'No Parking' sign, in Upper Brook Street, London, 10th July 1958. Shortly afterwards, the sign was removed and Britain's first parking meter scheme came into force. The meter is one of 648 to be installed in a pilot scheme in the West End and Mayfair areas of London. (Photo by George W. Hales/Fox Photos/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
