This article is about the original B1090 from Glatton to Ramsey in Huntingdonshire.

The original route of the B1090 was to the north of its current route in Huntingdonshire, although with a similar east-west route.
It started on the A1 near Glatton, to the south of Stilton. It went east through Holme, where it crossed the East Coast Main Line at a level crossing, after which it continued across the flat and largely featureless Holme Fen, climbing to cross the River Nene. It finished shortly afterwards on the B1040 at Ramsey St Mary's.
In 1935, the number B1090 was moved south and the original road became an eastern extension of the B660.
The A1 has since been upgraded to motorway and so there is no longer a junction between it and the ex-B1090; it needs to be accessed via the B1043 local-access road.
