A1075 (Lincolnshire)

This article is about the road in Lincolnshire that has since been part of the A154 and is now part of the A52.
For the current A1075 in Norfolk, see A1075.

The first A1075 was a relatively short A-road in south Lincolnshire.

The route started on the A152 in Donington. It headed out of town along Church Street then continued northeastwards past Bicker (not through the village but not on the line of the current main road either) to cross the A17 at Bicker Bar.

Continuing north via Drayton, the road passed to the east of Swineshead to end on the then-A154 at Baythorpe.

History

This milepost at Baythorpe, stands beside a stretch of road (now unclassified) that has in the past been numbered B1180, A154, A1075

This incarnation of the A1075 dd not appear in the 1922 Road Lists, which listed this route as being the B1180.

In 1935, the road became part of the A154, which retained its original route north of Swineshead as a spur. Today, the entire route of the ex-A1075 is part of the A52, as it has been since the 1950s, although the road has been upgraded with the construction of a couple of bypasses.
