A547 in Colwyn Bay

A5atPentrefoelas

Crosses A548 and also, by way of Nebo

Originally ran from the A5 in Valley to the B5111 on the western side of Amlwch. Upgraded to an extension of the A5025 by the end of the 1920s. The final section into Amlwch was renumbered to the B5111 in the 1940s.

Loop off A544 south of Llandudno

Originally began in Llanrhos and ran along Bryn Lupus Road and Deganwy Road to Deganwy and then along a rail line to Tywyn, connecting the A544 to itself. The northernmost section was declassified by 1932 and was instead routed to the A544 in the center of Deganwy. This new route was upgraded to Class I status as the A496 in 1935 and is now the A546. The original northern end to Llanrhos remains unclassified.

Number also appears in the DfT Card Index from around 2002 on a route along Record Street in Ruthin, but no maps showing the route as a B road have been found.

Loop off A506 in Kirkby

Originally began at the A59 south of Aintree to the A577 in Skelmersdale. The route was split in two by the M57 and expansion of Kirkby and a new relief road was built through Kirkby. Part of the eastern section became part of the A506 (much of which is now the M58). The remainder of the route was upgraded to Class I status as a western extension of the A506 while the final section into Skelmersdale is now the B5312. The current B5192 (itself a portion of the original B5192) in Kirkby dates from the 2000s, although with a new southern end as the original has been lost under the M57.

Originally the A585 and A583 (later A585) before they were rerouted onto bypasses.

A5063 Trafford Road, Trafford

Trafford Park

Extended and upgraded to the A5081.

The number also appears in the DfT Card Index from around 2002 as a route along Long Street in Wigston. There is no evidence (apart from a single unofficial online reference) that the number was used for this route; official documents in 1978 and 2013 state the route as a portion of the B5418. The same reference also states that Paddock Street was a portion of the B5216, but this was a cul-de-sac before 1978 and is also odd that the number would have changed between 1978 and 2013.

Formerly the C346 before 2009.

First used along the southernmost section of Devonshire Road in Blackpool. Became a portion of a rerouted A587 by 1932 (old A587 became an unnumbered Class II road, although the two routes may have swapped numbers in the 1920s). After the A587 returned to its original routing to form a portion of the Blackpool eastern bypass, this became a portion of the B5124.

Next used along Bispham Road in Blackpool from the A587 to the A586, along the old route of the A587 (which was rerouted over the original B5264). Returned to the A587 after it was routed back to its original route; the old route of the A587 (the original B5264) is now the B5124. The OS maps show the last bit along Benson Road and the final part along Bispham Road as part of the B5264, despite it not showing on any other maps nor signed on the ground.

B5245, Southport

A565 at Hesketh Park, Southport

Originally ran from the B5279 (now A5084) in Lowick Green to the B5281 in Gawthwaite. Upgraded to Class I status as the A5092 after World War II as part of a plan to allow traffic to access Broughton-in-Furness and points west by A-road without having to detour via Dalton.

A590, Ulverston
(Tank Square roundabout / Brewery Street)

The route is split in Ulverston with two separate roads designated 'B5281'. This is due to Ulverston's one-way system.

Next used from the then-B5320 just outside Stainton to the then-A594 at Penruddock, paralleling the current route. Became a portion of the A66 in 1968 after the M6 Penrith bypass opened.

A588atConder Green

Glasson Dock

First used on a route between Keswick and Bothel. Upgraded early on (1927-1928) to an extension of the A591; the southern end (within the Keswick bypass) is now part of the A5271 and the rest remains the A591.

May also have been used along the now-A5103 Princess Parkway/Princess Road in Manchester, as the 1932 and 1933 OS Ten Mile road maps show the number running through southern Manchester to the A560 on the southwest side of Northenden (now in Wythenshawe). The route is shown as the B529 (a typo) on a 1934 map. The 1934 OS Ten Mile map shows the route as upgraded to the A5103 and the B5290 along its current route near Lancaster.
