The traffic order map shows marked footway resident parking bays but they are not marked as footway parking bays.
Looking at Google Maps there do not appear to be any parking signs indicating park in marked bay.
Obviously you would have been in contravention of the yellow line during the controlled hours.
This challenge written by our admin for another case would seem to be relevant.

https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/barking-dagenham-contravention-code-62/ Dear London Borough of Barking and Dagenham,
I challenge liability on the ground that the alleged contravention did not occur. There are footway parking bays on Cavendish Gardens and footway parking has been permitted for over a decade. If you look at the latest images from Google street view at
https://maps.app.goo.gl/c1LSrTRKcJhJVxwH8 you can actually see my car parked on the right in exactly the same position as it was when the penalty charge notice was issued.
There are 11 Google Street View captures between September 2008 and March 2022 and in every single instance cars can be seen parked with two wheels on the footpath, this combined with the presence of footway parking bays and the fact that there has to my knowledge never been any footway parking enforcement led me to understand that footway parking is in fact permitted on this road, as it always has been.
Certainly if the local authority has decided to prohibit footway parking, or restrict footway parking to marked bays only, I would expect the local authority to take steps to inform road users of this change, this would normally be done by the use of signs prescribed by diagram 667.1 together with an auxiliary panel stating "In marked bays", however no such signs are present on the road. I would also have expected local residents to be consulted on this change, but I have not received any notification in this regard.
In any event as footway parking is permitted on at least some parts of Cavendish Gardens, the local authority must have passed a resolution under section 15(4) of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1974, and I cannot know if I was in breach of the terms of the resolution without seeing a copy. Therefore if you a minded to refuse this representation, I request that you provide a copy of the resolution so that I may satisfy myself that the footway parking bays are correctly marked on the road.
