A104 in CanonburyA110 Enfield TownFormerly continued north to end on A10 (now A1010) south of Waltham Cross.
A107 in HackneyA12 in WansteadFormerly ended at Leytonstone, but according to some maps seems to have taken over bits of the old A11 and A12. Originally, the number referred to the A12 Eastern Avenue section.

Continued north to Sudbury from 1929 to the 1970s via what is now the B1508.
A10, south of King's LynnA133 in ColchesterAlthough this road forms the Sudbury bypass, it's the route through the town centre (A131) which has primary status. A spur of the A134 near Stradsett used to link to the A1122 (former A47) at Crimplesham. Later unclassified, this spur is still heavily used to avoid the awful staggered junction with the A1122 at Stradsett a little further north.
A1130/A1305 Ring Road in Stockton-on-TeesA67 at EgglescliffeOriginally this number belonged to the road from Colchester to Harwich via Manningtree in Essex; this became part of the A1124 and the A604, and is now shared between the A137 and, east of Manningtree B1352. Traffic from Colchester to Harwich is now directed via the A120. The current A135 follows part of the original route of the A19.

A1305 Ring Road at Stockton-on-TeesA19 south of BillinghamPreviously allocated to a road between Ipswich and Felixstowe where a road ferry crossed to Harwich. (This became the A45 before the bypasses opened. Note the current A14 (ex-A45) uses none of the former route of the A139.) Only south facing slips are provided at the A19 junction. Traffic must use the A1027 to access the northbound A19.

A47 at GuyhirnA1 & A14 Brampton HutOriginally started on the A17 in Kings Lynn and continued to its current starting point at Guyhirn. When the new bridge opened over the River Ouse, the A141 swapped routes with the A47 between Wisbech and Guyhirn. Subsequently, the A47 was diverted onto a new alignment with the former A141 being downgraded to the B1441. This road was later declassified, but was upgraded to the B1542 in 2020.

A180 at Ulceby, North LincolnshireA1173 at Immingham docksPreviously allocated to a road between Croxton and Barrow upon Humber. This road was rerouted via Ulceby to Immingham Docks in 1969, with the old route becoming an extension of the A1077. When the current route was built, the old route became an extension of the A1077 (which was diverted away from the centre of Wootton) and the B1211. About 1 mile long.
A631 on Beckingham bypassA614 at GooleOriginally this road continued west to Rawcliffe, but the A614 replaced that section when it was rerouted. The section from Beckingham to the A18 near Crowle was originally the B1187 but was upgraded in 1932.

A659 at Boston SpaA167 at NorthallertonOriginally started at Thirsk but expanded south when the A1(M) opened, using one of the carriageways of the former A1. There is a dispute about whether the dual carriageway section known as the Dishforth Spur is part of the A1(M) or the A168(M). A minor detour south of Boroughbridge was a temporary terminus of the A1(M).
A64 bypass at MaltonA171 west of Whitbyvia Vale of Pickering. North Yorkshire Moors Railway follows more or less the same route between Pickering and Whitby. Used to meet A171 at Bagdale but was diverted after the river bridge on the route was washed away in the 1930s.

A13 in North StiffordA126 in GraysThere is confusion as to whether the section after the Elizabeth Road roundabout is part of the A126 or A1012. Maps suggest that this is also the A1012 but signage suggests this is the A126. (The A126 originally didn't have a northern deviation in Grays but followed the railway line direct into Grays.)
A13 near Stanford-le-HopeA126 in GraysFormer A13 alignment (pre-1980s) between Stanford and Lodge Lane, Grays. The section between Lodge Lane and Grays town centre was the original alignment of the A1013. Lodge Lane between A1013 and A1306 is presently unclassified but was part of the A13 until the 1980s. Locals commonly call this road the "old A13".

A194/A183 in South ShieldsA19 near SeahamFormer A19 alignment; a former alignment went along the old A1 through Grantham (now B1174), and the original alignment went from A137 west of Manningtree to Mistley (became A137 spur, now B1352 spur). Part of the route in Sunderland was the B1522 and B1294 prior to the opening of the Sunderland Southern Radial Route and the route is still signed as such at some points, even though the new road opened in 2008.
A414 in HarlowA1025 in HarlowThe original A1019 went from Harwich to Parkeston (became part of the A604, later part of the A136, now Parkeston Road and Station Road). Passes Harlow College.

UnusedRan along North Quay and Fuller's Hill (now part of the B1141) in Great Yarmouth from the A12 (now A1243) to the A47 (now Northgate Street). May have been used in Ipswich between the A12 and A1114; this is now part of the A1156.
A135 in HartburnA139 in BillinghamPreviously allocated to a road along Chapel Road in Wisbech. This was redesignated as the B1442 when the A47 was rerouted off of North Brink and Barton Road (which became the B1441), and became the C313 when the B1441 became the C312. Has only existed since 1968 when previously unclassified roads Hartburn Ave, Oxbridge Ave and Bishopton Avenue were upgraded to A road status. Extended in 1974 following opening of new roads carrying the A66 and A19. Yarm Road South previously part of A135.

UnusedRan from the A174 north to downtown Redcar; renumbered to B1269 in 1984.
A614 in East Cowick A19 in SelbyPreviously allocated to a proposed road from Middlesbrough to Redcar, but this was opened as the A1085 instead. The A1041 was instead allocated to a road between Goole and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor (this became part of the A614 which also replaced part of the A161 from Goole to west of Rawcliffe, and the A1041 was reassigned to the old route of the A614).
, (Norwich)A140 in Norwich A47 in NorwichDuplicate number which first appeared in 1992. Part of Norwich outer ring road which used to run down now unclassified Harvey Lane. The easternmost section was part of the A47 until that road was moved on to a new southern bypass in 1992.
, (Redcar)A174A1085 near RedcarThis route was first designated in 1924 and connected Kirkleatham and Redcar High Street meeting the northern end of the A1040. It was subsequently extended from Redcar to Marske along part of the current A1085.

A67 (former A19) in YarmA174 near Thornaby Originally went northeast along what is now the B1380 between what was previously the A1045 to the A174 at Hemlington. (Some maps still show the A1044 along this section which was downgraded in 2000.)
UnusedRan from Thornaby-on-Tees to Stockton-on-Tees (now A1044 and Thornaby Road; the A1044 went northeast on what is now the B1380).
A1305 in Stockton-on-TeesA178 in Port ClarenceOriginally started on Stockton High Street (the former A19). Via High Clarence.
UnusedRan along Crown Street and East Street in Darlington. Declassified because it was located inside Darlington's ring road.
A1049 in HartlepoolA179 Marina Way in HartlepoolOriginally started in centre of West Hartlepool where the other three roads at the crossroads were the A178, A179 and A689. This section is now unclassified following construction of Marina Way.

A174 near LazenbyGrangetownPreviously allocated to a road from Chester-le-Street from Newcastle Road (then the A1) to Picktree Lane (then the A693, which went west via Pelton Lane); this became part of the A693, and later, when the Chilton bypass was built, also became part of the A167. Ends at Teesport security checkpoint where the only way of turning around is on the roundabout beyond the checkpoint, even though signs indicate this to not be used by the general public.
A146 in NorwichA147 in NorwichPreviously allocated to a road from the A19 (now the B1285) east to Seaham (now the B1404 and B1287). Although most maps indicate that Bracondale is a spur of the A147, others claim this road, which was originally part of the A146, is now part of the A1054. (Signs on the ground do not indicate either is correct.)
A503 in Tottenham HaleA10 in Waltham CrossPreviously allocated to a road from the A184 east of Gateshead to the A185 in South Shields (now part of the A194). A spur of the A1055, called Conduit Lane, connects the A1055 to the A405 which the main route passes underneath without a junction. The unclassified road at the A10 junction was originally part of the A105.
(Northumberland)A19 near Killingworthvia Wideopen. Sandy Lane was originally part of the B1318. The section between the B1505 (former A189) and A19 was intended to be dual carriageway but only one carriageway has been built.
(Norwich)A11 in NorwichA140 & A146 in NorwichPreviously allocated to a road from A185 in Jarrow via Monkton Terrace (later closed), Grange Road, and Staple Road/Ferry Street to the dock, where the ferry ran.

A1001 on Hatfield bypassA1081 in St AlbansPreviously allocated to a road in Newcastle upon Tyne from A695 (this section now part of the A186) via Pilgrim Street and Northumberland Street to the B1318 (then part of the A1). The current A1057 was originally part of the A414. The B6426 in Hatfield was the original route of the A1057 but was also originally part of the A414.
A167(M) in Newcastle upon TyneA193 in TynemouthThe spur of the A167(M) could be the A1058(M) instead as signs on the spur are blue with the designation A1058. Originally started on A1 Barras Bridge and ran along Jesmond Road. Partly occupies former route of A188. Original terminated by railway station on A193 in Tynemouth running along Queen Alexandra Road and King Edward Road but these are now unclassified.
UnusedRan from London Road (this was then A1184, but now B1383) to A1250 in Bishop's Stortford (now South Street, Potter Street, and North Street, with southbound traffic going on Dane Street and Station Road; now the B1529). Previously allocated to a road from Gosforth to Longbenton (now part of the A191).
A1250 in Bishop's StortfordA12 near SandonPreviously allocated to a road from Longbenton to West Moor (now part of the A188, which previously went northeast via the current A191 routing and A186 routing to the A192).

A189 in ShankhouseA193 in South Beach, BlythOriginally A192 to A189 near Cramlington. The A189 now occupies part of the original route while a farm track south of the current route was also part of the original A1061. Part of the current route around New Delaval used to be part of the B1237.
A1151 in HovetonA149 east of Potter HeighamPreviously an eastward continuation of the B1354. Previously ended on A149 in centre of Potter Heigham. Previously allocated to a road from Bebside to Bedlington (now part of the A193)

A47 Acle bypassA149 Near Caister-on-SeaOriginally Beach Road in Caister-on-Sea, later extended to Acle, but the section on Norwich Road and the original section on Beach Road was declassified when the A149 was rerouted. Entire route was part of A47 until 1935.
A11 in MildenhallA148 near FakenhamLakenheath airfield occupies part of former route where the road bends sharply. Via Brandon and Swaffham. Prior to 1922 was part of the B1105.
A11 near ThetfordA140 east of Dissvia The Forest, Garboldisham, Roydon and Diss. Passes Bressingham Steam Museum. Created in 1924 when the Thetford to Diss section of the B1111 was upgraded. The short section of route east of Diss to Sluston Common was originally part of the B1131 which ended on the now unclassified original route of the A143.
A1042 (former A140) in NorwichA148 near Fakenhamsignificant portion is now B1454 between Tattersett and Heacham via Docking. Signage in Norwich suggests it starts closer to the A147 at the junction of Pitt Street and New Botolph Street but mapping suggests otherwise. From the 1920s until the construction of RAF Sculthorpe, the A1042 ran along the entire route of the B1154 ending on the A149 in Heacham. This extension was downgraded to the B1454 in the 1960s. Note that the site of the junction of the A148 and B1154 lies under the runway.
A1 at Seaton BurnA1 south of Alnwickvia Bedlington, Guide Post, Widdrington and Amble. Originally passed through Red Row and Broomhill and ended on A1 on edge of Alnwick town centre. Partly occupies route of original B1337, B1336 and B1333.

A1072 in StevenageA602 in Stevenage Previously allocated to a road from the A12 (now the A1124) in Colchester to the A133 in Greenstead (this became the B1422, and is now part of the A134). Another disputed A1070 was on Fairland Way in Stevenage (the current A1155). Just before the A602 roundabout a grassed over bridge carrying a cycle path can be seen on the left. This bridge was once part of the A1.
A134 southeast of Sudbury, SuffolkA1214 near Ipswich Hospital via Hintlesham and Ipswich. The original A1071 took over the route of the B1069 and ran along Hadleigh Road ending on the original A12. The gap in continuity in the town centre stems from the A45 being diverted along what had been originally the A12 and A139 in 1935. When the A45 was diverted on to the bypass (current A14), the A1071 was extended to its current terminus.
A602 spur in StevenageA1175 in StevenagePreviously allocated to a road from Witcham Toll to Stretham (the east–west section became part of the A1123, while the north–south section became a spur of the A1123, and is now the A1421).
UnusedRan from Eye to Spalding. It was downgraded to two C-roads, because the bypass was open, but the new bypass became part of the A16 road, while the old route of the A16 became the A1175.
A47 at New CostesseyA147 in NorwichPreviously part of the A47 prior to the construction of the Norwich southern bypass; formerly used on the Norwich Outer Ring Road. The original A1074 was from the current A1074 (then part of the A47) north to what is now the A1402 (became an extension of the A1024).
A1066 in ThetfordA47 near East DerehamPreviously allocated to a road from Donington to Baythorpe (became part of the A154, now the A52). The A1075 was an upgrade of the B1110 and has been extended along the former A11 through Thetford town centre. Note the original alignment of the B1110 between Thetford and Hatton was requisitioned by the army in 1942 as part of the Stanford Battle Area with the B1110 diverted on to previously unclassified roads.
A148 in GaywoodA149 in Kings LynnPreviously allocated to a road from Gunness to Scunthorpe (now part of the A18, which at the time went east from Gunness via what is now the B1450). The current A1076 was originally part of the B1145 and was upgraded when the bypass opened. Some signs still indicate this route as the B1145.
M181 near ScunthorpeA160 in South KillingholmeOriginally started in centre of Scunthorpe where the other roads were the A1076 and A1029. Via Risby Warren, South Ferriby, Barton-upon-Humber, Barrow-upon-Humber.

A1036 inner ring road in YorkA63 near Kingston upon HullNewland Avenue in Hull has a pub alongside a railway bridge made from part of a former railway carriage. Passes close to the University of Hull. Originally passed through Beverley along a now unclassified road. Via Bishop Burton, Shiptonthorpe and Hayton. The entire route is part of the pre-1922 route of the A66.
A105 at Turnpike Lane Underground stationA10 at TottenhamFormerly numbered as part of the A108; the original route went from the A11 (now Broadway) to the A12 (now Broadway) in Stratford (now a spur of the A118/The Grove). Traffic on the A1080 can only turn on to the northbound A10 in Tottenham.
Luton AirportA1000 in High BarnetPreviously allocated to present A1400 and A406 from Gants Hill to Walthamstow Forest. This road was originally the A6. Its actual numbering is curious because it is out of zone although it may be due to the rerouting of the A1 and curtailment of the A6 in the 1950s. Maps but not signs indicate the A1081 continues through the tunnel under the airport.
A148 south of Sheringwood A149 at SheringhamPreviously numbered as the B1158; original location was on what is now the western half of the Whipps Cross Roundabout. Shortly after the junction with the A148 is a turning on the right which was the original route of the B1158, the current route being created when the road was upgraded to A road status.
A124 in Becontree HeathA118 in IlfordOriginally the B176, it was extended along Griggs Approach, a new bridge across the railway line, in 1985 but this was downgraded to unclassified in 2005.
A18 (originally A15) near BriggA1173 near CaistorOriginally the B1209, it used to end on the A46 in Caister town centre but was extended along Grimsby Road to its current terminus when the A46 bypass opened.
A172 in MiddlesbroughA174 south of Marske-by-the-SeaMost of this road wasn't built until the 1920s. During construction of the Middlesbrough to Redcar section it was designated as the A1041 but was numbered A1085 upon opening. However the route was subsequently changed with the westernmost part becoming the A172 and the A1085 diverted to run past Albert Park. This was later declassified but the B1272 still ends on the Albert Park route.
A19 in EasingtonA179 in HartlepoolThis road was built in the 1920s and was allocated the number A180 in the 1922 roads list. However, none of the A1086 has ever actually been the A180. The original route was as now from the A179 but in West Hartlepool and ending on the B1283 at Easington Colliery. In more recent times, the A1086 in Easington has swapped routes with the B1283. The connection to the A19 was originally a spur of the A182.
A199 in BeltonfordA1 near BroxburnNumbered B1345 until late 1920s. Originally started on A1 rather than A199, the change being made as part of the upgrade of the A1. Via Dunbar (which the A1 has always bypassed) and John Muir Country Park.
A14 J47 east of WoolpitA1066 in ThetfordOriginally the B1112, it was upgraded in the 1920s. It mostly follows the boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk. Passes through the village of Euston. The local peer also owned land in London and named the area around what is now the A501 after this village. Originally met the A143 in Ixworth town centre but both roads now bypass it, part of the old A143 being closed to traffic. A layby near Stowlangtoft once formed a hairpin bend on the route. The road originally ended on the original A45 west of Woolpit.
A13 at Orsett HeathTilbury Cruise Terminalthis is the Trunk Road into Tilbury (and not the A13!) Previously allocated to the current B149 from Little Thurrock to Chadwell St Mary. The unclassified road heading east towards Tilbury at the A126 roundabout was originally a continuation of the A126. (It was downgraded with the removal of the A128 from the Tilbury area.)
A1306 near PurfleetA126 in West ThurrockCreated in 2013, when the old A1090 along New Tank Hill Road and London Road in Purfleet was declassified. The Purfleet bypass was originally the A126 but became unclassified when the A126 was diverted to the current A13 in the 1990s.
UnusedOriginally the B1006, it ran along Lordship Road in Writtle from A414 (now A1060) to Ongar Road (then the A122). Became a part of the A414 between 1978 and 1982, but was downgraded in 1986 following general renumbering around Chelmsford after the bypass opened.
A1017 in Baythorne EndA134 Long MelfordOriginally numbered B1062, the road originally ended in the centre of Long Melford on the A134, both forks either side of the village green being the A1092 at that time. The current A1092 only uses the left fork, the main route ahead is the B1064.
UnusedOriginally the B1080, it ran from Main Road (then part of the A12, which went west via the current A1214) in Martlesham to west of Kirton (now Felixstowe Road, Gloster Road, Barrack Square, and Brightwell Road)
A12 near Stratford St. AndrewAldeburghOriginally ended at the Moot Hall, Aldeburgh and designated B1121, it was extended to its current terminus in the 1920s.
A12 near BlythburghMarket Square in SouthwoldOriginally part of the B1123. The unclassified continuation of the route in Southwold, Queen Street, leads to the ferry across the River Blythe. This ferry service was once a vehicle ferry but now is foot passengers only.
A1123 at Galley HillA1307 (former A14) near St IvesPreviously allocated to a road from Acle to Great Yarmouth (now part of the A47; at the time the A47 went via the current A1064 and A149 to Great Yarmouth). Most of the route was part of the B1040 (which now multiplexes along the entire route) and was upgraded in the 1970s including a new bridge in St Ives.
DefunctRunning between A157 (now B1200) and A16 (now B1502), it directed traffic heading between the west and the north away from Louth town centre along St Mary's Lane. Downgraded in 1991, when the Louth bypass was opened, to become a spur of the B1200.
A16 in New WalthamA46 & A180 in Cleethorpesvia Cleethorpes sea front. When first opened in the 1920s, passed through New Waltham along current B1198.
A1060 in ChelmsfordA1060 in ChelmsfordPartly uses a section of the former A12, Springfield Road.

Ran from A12 in Copdock to A45 in Great Blakenham (now B1113, Swan Hill, and The Street).
A1302 in Bury St. EdmundsA17 in Long SuttonLongest 4 digit A road in the country. Runs via Wisbech, Littleport, Barton Mills. Part of the original route lies under the runway of RAF Mildenhall. The road was formed from sections of the A150, A47 and B1101 in the 1920s. The section into Bury St Edmunds is the original line of the A143.
Was the original Lincoln northern bypass, which became the B1273 and a southeastward extension of the B1182 when the newer A46 and A158 Lincoln bypass opened.
A631 north of West RasenA46 east of OsgodbyOriginally the B1204. Upgraded in the 1920s.
A16 at Ulceby CrossThe end of the route in Mablethorpe is also the end of the A52. Via Alford, Maltby-le-Marsh. Until the late 1920s was the B1196, B1197, B1198 and B1199.
A15 near Kingston upon HullA1079 near HessleCreated in 1930 from part of the A164 (Anlaby Road) which had ended on the A63 Midland Street, a short distance from the current A1079, and the newly built Hessle bypass. In the late 1940s the A1105 (which had since been extended to Hull City centre) and A63 swapped routes.
