Hi,
Your image embedded; International Convention on Hallmarks (UK joined 1972).

From left to right:
1. Sponsor`s or maker`s mark (OPT).
2. Common control mark
3. Fineness for sterling silver (.925)
4. Assay office looks like anchor for Birmingham assay office
For Birmingham see here:

It must date from 1998 or later because there is no date letter. These were made optional in that year by an amendment to the 1973 Hallmarking Act.
