The B5337 was the number given to part of Northwich's town centre ring road. Its history is not fully known owing to its short length; judging by its number it would have been classified in the late 1920s but this is not certain. Most maps now show the majority of this road as numbered A5509.
The road started on the now-pedestrianised Whitton Street, originally the A556 and numbered A559 after the bypass was built. It headed south along Timber Lane before detouring to the east along a route largely buried under Northwich Memorial Court (a leisure centre), then returned onto Chester Way to cross the River Dane.
The road quickly bore right and crossed the A533 before continuing west over the Hayhurst Bridge over the River Weaver to end back on the A559 Castle Street.
