The number B1361 was allocated in the early 1920s to a formerly unclassified road in north Lincolnshire connecting Immingham with Grimsby.
Starting on the B1210 in the centre of Immingham the road followed a winding route roughly southeastwards to Stallingborough. After running through Healing and Great Coates the road entered Grimsby, ending in the town centre on the A1136.
Owing to its importance, the B1361 was upgraded to Class I status after World War II, becoming the A1136, and the number was reused nearby.
Road upgrades in the area, in particular the building of the A180, made the A1136 less important, although many of the bends on the ex-B1361 had already been ironed out. A new link road was therefore built to connect Great Coates with the A180; the section of ex-B1361 west of there has become an eastern extension of the B1210.
