The original B13 was a short route to the north of Douglas. It started on the A2 at Parkfield Corner and ran north along Ballanard Road to the crossroads at Willaston Corner, where it met the B12. Continuing ahead, the route passed through Ballanard itself and on to another crossroads where it turned left. It then dipped down to cross the River Glass at Sir George's Bridge, ending soon after at a T junction on the B14. The whole route was upgraded before 1963 to become the central part of the A22, a route which starts on Douglas Promenade and continues to Union Mills along part of the former B14.
The Manx Government Circular 1131 of 25/02/1926 defines this route as: Ballanard-road, Douglas, to Sir George’s Bridge, thence to Ballaoates
