Downgraded by the end of World War II; the southern section is now part of the A541, but the remainder is unclassified.
Due to its importance, it was upgraded to Class I status as the A5119 after World War II.
Originally ran from the A5047 at Broad Green to the A562 at Penketh (now part of Warrington).
Originally ran from the B5213 in Stretford to the B5217 in Chorlton cum Hardy; the western end is now part of the B5213 and the remainder upgraded to the A5145.
The number also appears in the DfT Card Index from around 2002 as a route along Long Street in Wigston.
The same reference also states that Paddock Street was a portion of the B5216, but this was a cul-de-sac before 1978 and is also odd that the number would have changed between 1978 and 2013.
Originally ran along Corporation Street in Preston; became a portion of a rerouted A59.
Became a portion of a rerouted A587 by 1932 (old A587 became an unnumbered Class II road, although the two routes may have swapped numbers in the 1920s).
The OS maps show the last bit along Benson Road and the final part along Bispham Road as part of the B5264, despite it not showing on any other maps nor signed on the ground.
May also have been used along the now-A5103 Princess Parkway/Princess Road in Manchester, as the 1932 and 1933 OS Ten Mile road maps show the number running through southern Manchester to the A560 on the southwest side of Northenden (now in Wythenshawe).
Also appeared in the DfT Roads List as a route along Woolston Grange Avenue between the A57 and A574 east of Warrington, but this is a typo for the B5210.
Next used as an inner relief road into Lichfeld; one portion was upgraded to the A5127 and the remainder declassified.
Originally ran from the B5366 in Aylestone to the A50 (now A5199) in Wigston Magna; this is now part of an extended B5418.
