Thank you. Firstly something off-topic. Your user name always
reminds me of a dj on Radio Caroline. They often used false
names and one guy got hold of some American tapes and used the
name Herb Oscar Anderson!
Anyway, back to my ticket. It seems if I challenge the ticket
within 14 days and they reject it, they will allow another 14
days to pay the reduced penalty charge. So it is worth doing.
What do you think of the chances that they will accept the
challenge?

Oh, okay. But I may as well challenge it because it will give
me another 14 days with the money in my pocket instead of
theirs!

You've taken a photo of the sign from the wrong side, we need to
see the sign as seen from here:

However, what will that prove?

My user name refers to Hans Christian Andersen author of, among
other stories, 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. I adopt the stance
of the young child who, when seeing the emperor naked, is not
afraid to step out of line with the received wisdom and says
what they see.
Same here. Sometimes I'm correct, but it gets me into hot water
none the less, and sometimes I'm wrong.
Thankfully the forum isn't just one person's view.

You and your colleagues provide a valuable service for free. You
have obviously all studied parking laws to a greater extent than
most people. It is up to users to decide whether to use the
advice or not. If you were charging then we would demand a
refund if you were ever wrong!

Thank you CP8759 for asking me to photograph the other side of
the sign. It shows what was missing from the front (the way I
was facing).
As you can see it says 'park in marked bays only'. Of course
this was not visible as I parked. I therefore thought it would
be okay as I was out of the times for the parking restriction.
Is that sufficient for my challenge to Barnet (am I expected to
look back at the sign after parking?).
Incidentally on other parts of the road the sign which says
'residents permits only' says 'park in marked bays only', but
that is not on or near my bay!

That's not how footway parking works. It is banned everywhere
except where signs say otherwise. This is a cul-de-sac, so you
have to drive past that sign on the way into the road. Once
you're in an exempt area, there is no requirement to have a sign
for each bay, as the footway parking exemption (with any
qualification such as "in marked bays") applies to the whole
street.
This is the best I can come up with in the circumstances:
[indent]
Dear London Borough of Barnet,
In the first instance I would invite you to cancel the penalty
charge on a discretionary basis, given that I parked at night
and the contravention appears to be minimal if not de-minimis.
If you are not minded to do so, I would ask that you please
provide a copy of the footway parking resolution duly made under
section 15(4) of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act
1974, so that I may verify whether the council has discharged
its duties under section 15(5).
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
