In 1922, the B4123 was a road in southwestern Birmingham near the boundary with Smethwick. It ran between the A456 near to Beech Lanes and the A38 in Selly Oak.
By 1932, the road appears to have been truncated to the section between the A456 and Harborne, with the route south of there becoming part of the A4123. It it supposed (but not proven) that this took place at the same time as the opening of the A4123 Wolverhampton - Birmingham New Road in November 1927.
By 1946, the truncated B4123 is shown as being entirely swallowed up by the A4030.
Today, the road is all part of the A4040, the former Birmingham Outer Ring Road.
