The B6395 first appears in Sheffield on the 1936 revision of the MOT Map. At this time, it is not entirely clear where it runs, the number being placed close to Herries Road South near to Sheffield Wednesday football ground. However, the 1947 OS Six Inch sheet clearly labels Herries Road South and also Parkside Road (originally the B6079) and Leppings Lane (originally the B6078) on the western side of the A61 as three distinct parts of the route, connecting the A6102 and A616 to the A61. Curiously, post war maps reinstate the earlier numbering.
For a couple of decades from the 1950s through to the 1980s, OS 1:2500 sheets show the B6395 as following Herries Road South, forming the third side of the triangle with Herries Road and the A61. However, A-Z mapping of Sheffield from 1991 shows it as being a section of Herries Road on the northern side of the triangle. It would therefore appear that the route briefly swapped with the A6102, before the A road returned to its original route, and kept Herries Road South as a spur.
Herries Road and Herries Road South were opened on 5 August 1925 by the Duchess of Norfolk (family name Herries).
