Over the years, Princes Road in Wells has had a variety of numbers. From classification in 1922 until the mass renumberings of 1935, it was the B3138. In that year it appears to have been renumbered as a spur of the extended B3139. Then sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s, it was upgraded to be an A road. Whether it was the A371 or A39 is uncertain, as the two had a number of spurs in the city, which were effectively melded into a partly one-way multiplex ring road in later years.
Today, with the Wells Relief roads taking the traffic out of the city centre, Princes Road is unclassified.
