The B7053 was a short, largely urban route in north Lanarkshire. It was originally unclassified but probably gained its number in the early 1930s, although the first time it is mapped appears to be on the 1936 OS Ten Mile Map. The number seems to have been made redundant following construction of the M8 around 1980, at which time most of it became part of the new B765, while the northernmost quarter is now unclassified.
The route started in Shettleston by turning north off the A89 and following Gartocher Road under the railway line, before doglegging onto Sprinboig Road. The A8 was crossed at a staggered crossroads, beyond which it continued north along Stepps Road. There was another multiplex, this time with the B806 (with maps suggesting the B7053 number was dominant), after which it continued on to Millerston and journey's end on the A80. It is this last section, after the B806, which is now unclassified.
