The B1180 was the original number given to the road between Donington and Swineshead and therefore part of one of the possible routes between Grantham and Boston.
It left the A152 at Donington and headed northeast through Bicker, crossing the A17 en route, to end on the A154 to the east of Swineshead.
It was soon decided that the road was important enough to merit a Class I number and so it became the A1075 in the 1920s and then became an extension of the A154 in 1935. After World War II it became part of an extended A52, which it remains today, although a significant proportion of the route has been bypassed.
