The A5048 is an urban A-road to the east of Liverpool city centre.
It starts on the A562 Upper Parliament Street in Granby and heads north along Grove Street to reach the A5047 West Derby Street at a set of traffic lights.
Although the A5048 seems to disappear here, head one block north and Moss Street, between the A57 Prescot Street and the A580 Erskine Street, is also part of the A5048.
Although its 1922 route is similar to its present route, the two rarely coincide.
Originally, the A5048 started one block east and headed north along Crown Street all the way from Upper Parliament Street to Prescot Street. The section between Oxford Street and Grove Street is now no longer in existence and the section between West Derby Street and Prescot Street is now part of the hospital grounds.
