History

When the roads were first numbered in 1922 the A1023 number was originally given to a small 1.5 mile (2.4 kilometers) long road in Norfolk, going through Crimplesham from the A134^{[location 7]} to the A1122 (then numbered the A47).^{[location 8]}^[4] The road was reclassified as a spur of the A134 in the 1935 Road numbering revision,^[5] but later became unclassified sometime after 1970.^[6] In 1966, after the A12 was re-routed along the current Brentwood Bypass, the former route was allocated the A1023, with the west end of the road slightly shifted to make room for a new roundabout.^[7]^[8]
