B7013 Link in Dalmellington

Route

Heading west

The B7013 is a short link road in the small Ayrshire town of Dalmellington. It starts at a roundabout on the B741 in the town centre and winds eastwards along the High Street, quickly leaving the urban area behind. It curves around the northern side of Dalmellington Motte, the site of an old castle, and follows the valley of the small Muck Water upstream to end at a T-junction on the A713 about half a mile later. The route is S2 for its entire length and seems more rural than urban, except at its western end.

History

The original line of the B7013 as depicted on the 1947 One Inch Map

The B7013 number was not allocated in 1922, and was instead allocated later in the 1920s. Mapping evidence from elsewhere suggests that the number was allocated in 1926 or 1927. The original route of the B7013 (as shown on a MoT map that had been held in the MoT Library and updated to 1929-30) was the current route of the A713, with that route still running through Dalmellington, as it did in 1922. The two routes then swapped in c1947/8, as the 1948 edition of the OS Six Inch map is the first to show the current situation, while the One Inch map from 1947 (left) show the A713 in the town centre still.
