Default Parking and Security

Picked up this card/disc but not sure of its actual purpose ?

It is the size of an old car tax disc but was it for British Legion vehicles or an old type of "pay and display" card.

History

In June 1927 the Rochdale South Branch of the British Legion employed two disabled veterans as full time parking attendants.

In March 1928 the British Legion Car Attendants (Belfast) Ltd began operations with seven disabled ex-servicemen.

From then other branches set up their own schemes but the British Legion had no 'centralised' control over them. In 1943 the existing Area companies were merged into British Legion National Car Park Attendants Company.

By the mid 1950's the Legion had diversified and the 'Car Park' was dropped from the title , in 1962 they became the British Legion Attendants Company Trust.

Later the Royal British Legion Attendants Company Trust owned Legion Security (Legion Group) until 2010 when the company was sold.
