The A61 (former A6135) Westwood New Road
The A6135 was a short link road to the north of Sheffield. It provided part of an alternative route to the A61 north of the city towards Barnsley.
The road started on the A629 near High Green. It headed northeastwards for a couple of miles passing Tankersley but going through no settlements of any size. It ended on the original line of the A61 between Hoyland Common and Birdwell.
The road was originally unclassified but gained the A6135 number around 1930. However, it must have been popular as an alternative to the A61 as it was renumbered as part of that road in 1935. The original northern end of the road has now been severed by the M1 but a footbridge just north of J36 marks its line.
