This article is about the original use of the number in the Telford area.

The original use of the B4381 was for a route in what is now the southwestern part of Telford.
It started on the A442 in Lawley and headed south along Stainburn Road and then Wellington Road. It descended through Coalbrookdale to the banks of the River Severn, where it ended on the B4380.
The road was renumbered as an extension of the B4373 in 1935. It then became part of the A4169 in the 1960s and has changed beyond recognition since then.
Most of the northern half of the route has been bypassed or completely destroyed by New Town construction work, although a short section of the A5223 to the north of the A4169 is on the same alignment. The route south of this point is intact, though it is no longer a classified road.
