The B5376 is a loop off the A49 just north of Wigan town centre. The road was originally unclassified but gained its number in the late 1920s.
The road's current southern end is at traffic lights on the A49, after which it heads west along the D2 Northway. However, this is a modern road and for the majority of its existence the B5376 ran along Mesnes Road through the town centre. Old and new roads meet at traffic lights where the B5375 continues ahead with our road having to TOTSO right.
We continue northwestwards along Bridgeman Terrace, with Mesnes Park on the left and Victorian housing on the right. Presently an entrance to the derelict Pagefield Mill (later owned by Wigan & Leigh College and now scheduled to be demolished or turned into flats) is reached where we bear slightly to the right and follow Kenyon Road northwards, with houses on both sides. There's a signal-controlled crossroads with two local roads, after which the B5376 turns northeastwards on the slightly wider Mesnes Road, remaining residential. Presently Spencer Road merges in from the left and then B5376 ends immediately afterwards at a roundabout back on the A49.
