First used from Slough to Chalfont St Peter; this was upgraded in the 1920s to a portion of a rerouted A332. Reused along old B473 from Beaconsfield to Amersham when the B473 was rerouted to Hazelmere, but became the B473 (now A355) again in 1935. |
B473 (defunct) | A4 at Slough | A413 in Amersham | Rerouted to Hazelmere when the A332 replaced the original B472, with the original route to Beaconsfield renumbered to B472.

The extension south was rejected in January 1935 as it would have put the B473 out-of-zone, but the other proposals proceeded as planned and were implemented in April 1935. The Beaconsfield-Hazelmere section was numbered as the B474. Due to an increase of traffic, the B473 was upgraded to Class I status as an extension of the A355 in the 1970s. |

When the A423 was cut in half by the runway at RAF Benson, the B479 was rerouted out of Benson entirely. The section between Benson and the A4130 at Crowmarsh Gifford became a portion of a rerouted A423 in the 1960s with the remainder upgraded to the A4074, which would also replace the A423 after it was rerouted. |

Around 1935, the original route was upgraded to the A4114 (later A427); the extension hung on for a few more years as the B4111 before being renumbered to the B5414 as it was out-of-zone. The section between Coventry and the A5 was downgraded back to Class II status as the B4027, despite being a duplicate (this was corrected to B4428 in the 2000s). With the impending A14 in the 1990s the eastern section was renumbered to A4303 between the A5 and M1 and A4304 on the section to North Kilworth; both numbers are out-of-zone. |

Originally ran from Llan Ffestiniog to Conwy via Betws-y-Coed. By 1932, the southernmost section had become a portion of a rerouted B4408 to Congl-y-Wal and the A496 from there to Blaenau Ffestiniog. By 1939, the B4408 was decommissioned, with the A496 extended over it further to Betws-y-Coed and the section from there to Conwy renumbered to the B5106. Sections became the A4108 and A5110 by 1956, but the ex-B4408 is now the A470 from Llan Ffestiniog to Betws-y-Coed and B5106 north of there; the section just south of the A5 is now unclassified. |
B4408 (defunct) | First used from the B4391 at Pont Tal-y-bont via Tanygrisiau to the B4407 at Rhiwbryfdir. By the end of the 1920s, the southern half was a northern extension of the A496 and the northern section declassified (this section became the B4414 in 1935 when it returned to Class II status). The B4408 was then rerouted south of Blaenau Ffestiniog along the-then B4407 to the A487 near Gellilydan. This B4408 was renumbered to A4108 (now A470) before 1956. | ||
B4409 | A5at Bethesda | A4244at Glasinfryn | Originally connected linked the B4407 and B4408 south of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Renumbered as a northern extension of the A496 in the mid-1920s and is now unclassified after the A496 was rerouted. |

B4420 (defunct) | B5108 (later A5025) in Four Crosses, Menai Bridge | B4422 in Bethel | Originally ended at the B4421 in Newborough, but was quickly extended to Bethel. Much of route became the new A4080 in 1935; the portion into Bethel became the B4422 because the A4080 did not go into Bethel and the northern section became the B5420 (now A5025) because the A4080 did not cross the A5 (the old number would have been out-of-zone north of the A5). |

B4423 (defunct) | B4422 in Llanfaelog | B5112 in Trefor | The section south of the A5 was upgraded to a portion of the A4080 and the northern third became a portion of a rerouted B5112 in 1935. |

First used from Berkeley to Sharpness. In the 1935 renumbering, it was recommended that the route be extended to the A4135, but this never happened; the B4066 was extended west to Sharpness and the B4428 was declassified instead. Next used from the A429 Fosse Way west of Chesterton to Kemble Airfield (now Cotswold Airport). Became a portion of a rerouted A429 in the 1960s. |

Originally ran from Marian's Inclosure to Tutshill. By 1932 the first section into Coleford became an extension of the B4431 while the remainder was renumbered to B4228. Later renumberings rerouted the B4228 to take over the section north of Coleford. |
