A41 road
The A41 is a major trunk road in England, United Kingdom that links London and Birkenhead. It passes through or near various towns and villages including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Aylesbury, Warwick, Solihull, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Whitchurch, Chester and Ellesmere Port. It follows part of the line of the old Roman road, Akeman Street. With the opening of the M40 right through to its link up with the M42 near Birmingham in 1990, much of the route has been downgraded, and renumbered accordingly. The section between Bicester and the M42 near Solihull no longer possesses this number as a result, being known as the A4141 and A4177 between Solihull and Warwick and the B4100 between Warwick and Bicester. Much of the route is an adequate alternative to the M40, except sections in Oxfordshire at Adderbury (where the road has a sharp turn at traffic lights) and in Northamptonshire at Aynho, where the road narrows.
