The former B4029 (now A4095) in Kirtlington
The B4029 was a rural B-road in north Oxfordshire.
It started on the B4027 at Enslow, next to Bletchingdon station. It zigzagged north through Kirtlington before bearing east onto Akeman Street. In Chesterton it bore north once more to end on the B4030 to the west of Bicester.
Most of the B402x roads were affected by the coming of the A4095 in the mid-1920s and the B4029 is no exception. The road was downgraded at that time when most of it was renumbered A4095. However, that road did not follow Akeman Street between Kirtlington and Chesterton but took the next road north; the section of B4029 along Akeman Street was declassified instead.
