They were originally defined by the Trunk Roads Acts of 1936 and 1946.
For example, Trunk Road 1 is London-Thurso and Trunk Road 8 is
London-Penzance (from the 1936 Act) and the now defunct Trunk Road 41
is Taunton-Barnstaple-Fraddon (in the 1946 Act).

Without access to a copy of the Acts I can't be certain, but I'd guess
the Felixstowe-Southampton Trunk Road was created by the 1946 Act.

At least the 1936 Act has been repealed (by a Statute Law Reform Act, so
not because of a specific replacement) and there's no sign of the 1946
Act in "Statutes in Force".

I doubt I'm going to have time to visit a law library in the near future
to find the originals.
