The B7033 is a very short link road in Wishaw, north Lanarkshire.
The start of the B7033 in Wishaw
The route starts on the A721 Main Street in Wishaw town centre and heads northeast along the one-way Kenilworth Avenue. The junction is kerbed in such a way as to suggest traffic can only turn left into it, however there is no signed prohibition on right turning traffic. It soon meets a TOTSO with the dead-end Library Road where it continues ahead past the library and health centre, now as a two-way road. It then meets a surprisingly large roundabout where it forks right onto the residential Lammermoor Terrace. The road ends a short distance later at another roundabout on the A722 opposite a supermarket.
History
Owing to its short length the history of this route is not fully known. The road did not exist in 1922 but was probably classified in the later 1920s, along with the nearby B7032. The first time it is marked on a map is the post war editions of the OS Six Inch and 25-Inch maps, both surveyed in 1940, albeit erroneously marked (twice) on both maps as the B1033. This is clearly a misprint or copyright trap however. It is not marked at all on smaller scale OS sheets until the late 1950s.
An amended OpenStreetMap trace for this route awaits uploading to the SABRE Wiki.
