The B4085 is one of the rare examples where a B road has been upgraded to an A road.
It started out life running from the B4093 in Redditch and ended on the A41 / A46 multiplex in Warwick. Later in life its Redditch start point moved, with the coming of the new town and its new infrastructure. The B4096 now started on the cloverleaf where the A448 and A441 met, and the first two miles were now dual carriageway with some grade separation. Following the original route of the B4095 west of the A435 is now quite difficult as much has been destroyed, although Ipsley Church Lane was part of it.
Eventually the route was upgraded to a proper A road, the A4189, though many traces of the B4095's existence can be found, mostly on signs around Redditch, and a pre-Worboys finger post in Warwick.
