The A614 (former B1229) on the edge of Howden
The B1229 was the direct route between Howden and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor in east Yorkshire.
It started on the A63 (now numbered B1230) on the eastern edge of Howden and headed northeast through seven miles of featureless countryside.
The B1229 crossed Spaldington Common, the River Foulness and Holme Common but passed through no villages en route, making it one of the longest roads in England without any.
Eventually, it entered Holme-on-Spalding-Moor where it ended on the A163 in the centre of the village.
Within ten years of its classification, the B1229 had been renumbered as part of the A1041. It is now part of the A614.
