Heading west along the A5145 (former B5215) Edge Lane
The B5215 was a short link road in Stretford.
The road started towards the eastern end of Urmston Lane on the B5213. There is still an ancient fingerpost here showing the original road numbers although it is out-of-date: the B5213 has been rerouted onto the ex-B5215 east of this junction as far as the junction with Barnton Road (originally the A575, now A5181).
The B5215 then continued east along Kingsway, crossing the A56 and going over the Bridgewater Canal. It ended over a mile further on in Chorlton cum Hardy, on the B5217 Barlow Moor Road.
Apart from the western end, which is the B5213 as stated above, the B5215 has now been renumbered A5145.
