The now-unclassified former B4454 Queens Road

The B4454 was a short link road to the west of Coventry city centre. It was originally unclassified but gained its number in the mid-1920s.

Starting on the B4106 at Spon End the road headed southeastwards along Butts and Queens Road to end on the B4107 (later renumbered A4114) Queen Victoria Street.

Owing to the short length of the road its history is not fully known. Although the road retained Class II status until at least the 1950s this does not mean it kept the B4454 number. In the 1960s the eastern end of the road was destroyed when the A4053 was built on top of it; the western half of the road is now numbered B4101.

The DfT Card Index from c2002 still lists the B4454 in Coventry as follows: 'Coventry - Inner Circulatory Road.'. It is not clear exactly what this means, particularly as (as noted above) the eastern end was long since built over.

Mapping Errors

The B4454 was occasionally labelled as the B4464, including in the 1960s AA Book of the Road. The origin of this error is uncertain, as it appears a number of times, but it could be due to the difficulty of reading the MOT Map as pictured top right.

The B4454 number has surfaced later in the city but this is as a mapping error for the B4544.
