The B1327 is a short link road in Blyth, Northumberland, although originally it was much longer.
The original route of the B1327
In 1922 the B1327 started on the A192 at Laverock Hall and headed east through Newsham into Blyth. It ran along Plessey Road to end on the A193 Park Road on the southern edge of town.
In the 1970s the A193 was rerouted to bypass the town, so both ends of the B1327 were moved. The east end was moved to go along Union Street and meet the B1328 in the town centre. The section west of the A193 bypass became an eastern extension of the A1061. Later still, the A1061 was rerouted to bypass Newsham; the road left behind was given the number B1523.
