The B416 (former B472) near Gerrards Cross
The B472 was the road north of Slough via Gerrards Cross to Chalfont St Peter.
Starting on the A4 in the centre of Slough the road headed north. It met the B474 on the edge of Stoke Park and then continued via other places prefixed Stoke, such as Stoke Poges and Stoke Common, before crossing the A40 at Gerrards Cross. After going over a railway line from London to High Wycombe the road reached Chalfont St Peter, where it ended to the south of the village centre on the A413.
The road was quickly upgraded to Class I status, becoming part of a rerouted A332, and the B472 number was used elsewhere.
The road was downgraded again in the 1970s and is now numbered B416.
