For the present route near Southport, see B5276.
The original B5276 was located between Lancaster and Morecambe and was the closest classified road to the coast.
It used to connect the A589 (later B5321) at Torrisholme with the A6 at Slyne, thus allowing traffic to avoid the centre of Lancastert. The road survived the construction of the A5105 coastal route in the 1930s but not for long - it was unclassified by the mid-1940s and remains so.
