B4068 (Berkeley)

This article is about the original B4068 in the Vale of Berkeley.
For the current B4068 in the Cotswolds, see B4068.

The now-unclassified former B4068 Berkeley High Street

The B4068 was a loop off the A38 to serve the Gloucestershire town of Berkeley.

It started on the northern edge of Stone and headed northwest then north via Ham into Berkeley itself. At the northern end of the High Street it turned right (from 1924 onwards the left turn was the B4428 to the docks at Sharpness) to return to the A38 at Berkeley Heath.

The road ceased to exist in the 1935 renumberings. The northern section, together with the B4428, became part of the B4066 and the remainder was renumbered as a northern extension of the B4509.

Possibly due to its narrow streets, all the roads in Berkeley are now unclassified. The B4066 now bypasses the town to the north and the B4509 has been cut back so its northern end is now on the A38. As such only about a mile of the former B4068 is still classified (the B4066 east of Berkeley).
