The road approaching the crossroads at Horwich End from Chapel-en-le-Frith is now the B5470 that crosses the A5004 and continues to Macclesfield. The A5004 was originally the A6 from Buxton to Whaley Bridge via Long Hill and this road was then the end of the A625. In the 1960s the A6 re-routed through Chapel to Horwich End and the road over Long Hill was renumbered A5004. When Chapel-en-le-Frith was bypassed in the 1980s it carried the A6 and this road became the B5470.
