History
Original 1932 route
In 1932, the A4050 was a short road along the
A4049
in both directions.
Starting on the
A4049 at Tir-Phil
.
The original northern end of the A469 was in Ystrad Mynach. Later in the 1920s, that road was extended north to meet the A4050 near Pengam railway station and then, in 1935, the entire A4050 was renumbered as part of a northern extension of the A469, giving that road the spur that survives to this day. Bargoed has since been bypassed.
