This article is about the original route of B5061 in Wellington, Shropshire.
For the present route along the former A5 in Telford, see B5061.
For the present route along the former A5 in Telford, see B5061.
The original allocation of the B5061 number was to a link between Wellington, now part of Telford, and the then-A5 to the south-west of the town.
In the 1922 Road Lists, B5061 is listed as Link at Wellington, making it a road to the north of the present route. It appears to have followed Haygate Road into the town centre, and Church Street and Park Street back out to the original route of A442 at King Street.
It was briefly upgraded to A5223 around 1980, before becoming an unclassified road before 1982, whilst the B5061 number was then recycled in the mid-1980s for the original route of the A5 through Telford.
