May have been used in Cheltenham along the former route of the A46; number is not shown on maps but does appear in a DfT road list from around 2002.
A 1972 OS map indicates that this version of the A4016 dates from the late 1960s or early 1970s, possibly before construction of the M5 through the town.
Originally ran along Park Road in Hagley; declassified when the A491 bypass was built.
Later renumbered as an extension of the A4042 and has since been declassified; the completion of the A4042/A48 rendered the route redundant.
Number later used in the late 1970s for the Droitwich Spa bypass; became a portion of the A38 in the early 1980s.
When the A40 was rerouted in the late 1920s, the A4074 was downgraded to Class II status as the B4313, but is now part of the A478 one-way system.
Next used in 1935 from the A489 near Cemmaes to Mallwyd on an old section of the A491 (the remainder became the A458, which ironically replaced the original A4084).
Originally the southwestern portion of the Oxford Ring Road, from Botley to South Hinksey.
Later switched to a section of leftover A40 in the center of Gloucester (the ring road was renumbered to A40); became a portion of the A417 by 1946 and is now unclassified and partially pedestrianized.
But the tonnage was not enough (and it was never going to be) to upgrade the road to Class I, so this proposal fell through and the route remains the B489.
