Broad Town Road, Broad Town, was once the B4004, later the B4041, and is now the Wiltshire C145
The B4041 was a B-road heading round the western side of Swindon.
It started on the A419 in the centre of Cricklade and headed south via Purton and Hook to reach the A420 (now A3102) on the northern edge of Wootton Bassett.
In 1922 the B4041 ended here but it was extended along the entire route of the B4004 in 1935. There was therefore a multiplex through Wootton Bassett before the B4041 reappeared and headed southeastwards to reach the A361 at Broad Hinton.
The road still existed in the mid-1980s but was declassified soon afterwards. The northernmost section, from Cricklade to north of Purton, is now part of the B4553 but the rest is unclassified.
