But if the rule is restrictions apply on bank holidays and it is down to the council this was an error on my part and I am happy to pay.
How about we get the PCN cancelled and you give the money to charity insead? However that requires some cooperation on your part, the first step would be for you to look at the map I posted above and then for you to tell us exactly what route you took into the zone.

@cp8759 I live in newham and our street has the same restrictions, and we have had visitors park on the single yellow line, and the enforcement officer did not issue a PCN as it was a bank holiday, so I assumed it was the same rule across newham.
But if the rule is restrictions apply on bank holidays and it is down to the council this was an error on my part and I am happy to pay.

The street has a timing of Mon-sat 8-6.30pm.
@DIP181394 says who? How do you know that?

However as yesterday was a bank holiday I assumed the restrictions wont apply.
Unfortunately, unless a sign says "Bank Holidays excepted" on it, the restriction applies. Councils can decide not to enforce on Bank Holidays, and give their CEOs a day off, but this is totally different. Sometimes they will state this on their website, but they don't have to.

@cp8759 I am sorry for being so thick, but not sure I understand.
The street has a timing of Mon-sat 8-6.30pm.
However as yesterday was a bank holiday I assumed the restrictions wont apply. I have the same time restrictions on my residential street, and we are able to park on the single yellow line on bank holidays where no bays are marked.

@DIP181394 you were on a single yellow line:

According to the Newham CPZ map (https://lbnewham.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6c213298647e4283a537266c72c1d086), Oakdale Road is in the Upton Park CPZ:

So, you need to work out exactly where you crossed the zone boundary, then we can start looking at signage issues.

Fpr meaningful advice please to have a read of
https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/
and post here both sides of the unredacted PCN and a GSV link to the location.
Also any Council photos (probably won't be available intil tomorrow).
I suspect you were in some sort of CPZ.

I received a penalty when parked on single yellow line on a bank holiday when there was a time restriction. However in the location there were no boxes or signs of restriction.
