Can anyone help? CCTV related parking fine

Hi, I could really do with some help with my situation. Here it is...
To my shock, last Saturday, I received a parking fine through the post. I hadn't had any tickets put on my car and realised I had been caught on CCTV. I'd parked on double yellow line, whilst driving to work, in my local High St. It wasn't busy and I wasn't holding any traffic up, as I dashed into the sweet shop for, literally, 30 seconds. Th contravention took place on 25/10/10 but I didn't receive the letter until 7/11/10. As I was still unaware of the CCTV now being used for parking controls, I also made three other stops, at the same location, on 2/11, 3/11 and 4/11/10, and I have now received three more fines. I am absolutely devastated, as I do not have £200 to pay these fines before the 50% reduction period, especially just before xmas.
I would like to know if I could appeal these, especially the last three, due to unfair issue. I have not parked there since receiving the first PCN and would never park there unlawfully again. I have checked to see if there is ample signs to show the CCTV enforcement and it is clearly marked, but I'm sure the signs are very new and we're put up after I'd been caught. I'm sure the enforcement has only been in place over the last month as I've parked there many a time, and never had a problem. Every time I drive down this street, there are always cars parked on these lines, so there will be a lot of shocked people receiving these fines.
Please help! Thanx!

Unfortunately as d.y.lines are no waiting at any time the only chance there is (I think) is to prove the tickets are faulty. copy/photo both sides and remove personal bits, host on tinypic and copy the url. Paste it ino a post on here and pepipoo.com and remove the http:// bit on here. No restriction on pepipoo. Hopefully someone here will be able to help.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
