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.

Former alignment of A41 prior to the opening of M40. Starts in Bicester near the Bicester Village designer outlet and crosses the A43 near M40 J10. Continues via Baynards Green and Aynho then multiplexes with the A4260 from Adderbury for approximately 3.5 miles. It then regains its status from the Warwick Road, Banbury for less than a mile as it becomes the A422 briefly. It then fully regains its status as the B4100, near Drayton where it continues for 14 miles passing M40 J12 & J13 at Gaydon and Warwick, respectively.

The road is briefly reprised in Birmingham City Centre as a continuation of the A34 until it meets with the B4114 and A47 in Birmingham City Centre. Also used for the section of former A41 from junction with A4540 to A4400 Snow Hill Queensway.

Next used in 2015 along Broad Street in Coventry. May have been short-lived; little is known about this route. It is listed in a 2015 FoI request response from Coventry Council as well as on other 2011 documents, but it does not appear on a September 2016 revision of the OS VectorMap District map.

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.

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).
