B3336 Twyford
Does anyone have any maps even hinting at a likely route, as those we have online don't show anything that looks likely.
My mission is to travel every road and visit every town, village and hamlet in the British Isles.
I don't like thinking about how badly I am doing.
From the SABRE Wiki: B3336 (Twyford) :
The DfT Card Index from c2002 lists the B3336 as 'Twyford'. It seems quite likely that this is an error and refers to the B3386 at Twyford, however it cannot be completely ruled out that there was also a B3336 nearby.
There is also an outside possibility that this route was in Twyford Berkshire near Reading.

Incidentally, the SABRE Maps Sheetfinder includes a "search for a place" functionality, which makes hunting for relevant maps we have online easier.

Re: B3336 Twyford
It's marked as being under construction on the 1927-28 MoT Map, and the 1929 Popular sheet. There is a brilliantly useful set of pages on the SABRE Wiki - for example Network changes - 1920s, which says that the Twyford Bypass was opened on 10 September 1928.
If it was temporarily downgraded, then it happened between 1933 (when it was A3065) and 1936 (when it was A321).
Both the 4700/33 and 4036 revisions of the relevant Fifth Edition sheets are available on SABRE Maps, but there is a 1934 revision in between that we don't have (and I don't have in my personal collection either) which would add further certainty.

Re: B3336 Twyford
I don't have anything definitive to add to this, but I will offer the observation that the third digit of the road number in Hampshire is obscured on some OS maps, including the one visible on the B3336 (Twyford) page. Someone looking at that map might well read it as B3336 and not B3386. It's a very plausible source for such a misunderstanding, and we know from examples elsewhere that transcription errors like this have crept into the DfT Card Index.rileyrob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 14:53The DfT Card Index says that the B3336 (Twyford) is in Twyford. While it seems most likely that this is an error and really means the B3386, which is in Twyford, Hampshire, it is also possible that the route was briefly applied to a route in Twyford Berkshire.
