The B4127 is a short B road in central Birmingham running between Holloway Circus on the A38, part of Birmingham's former Inner Ring Road, and the current Ring Road (or Middleway) near Five Ways.
Originally the road started on New Street (which had Class I status although it is not certain which road this was) and headed around New Street station along Worcester Street and Smallbrook Street. The latter was later upgraded to become the A4400 Smallbrook Queensway, pushing the B4127 to its current starting point; this section is now unclassified.
The road starts off as Holloway Head at Holloway Circus, climbing up past the Birmingham peace garden, which includes the bombed remains of St Thomas's church. The road continues along as Bath Row although traffic wishing to travel along the Ring Road is directed along Wheeleys Lane to the left while the road continues a short distance to terminate on the A4540 Islington Row Middleway.
An amended OpenStreetMap trace for this route awaits uploading to the SABRE Wiki.
