This road starts at the Sheepridge Road end as Wiggan Lane, but that branches off to the right and the name becomes New House Road. This was formerly New House Lane, and the old route turns off to the right as a footpath just before the buff-coloured houses on the right. New House Road continues to Bradley Boulevard at the bottom of the hill, and the school opposite is the 'Our Lady of Lourdes' RC Primary School.

This is the top of the lower part of Wiggan Lane, a housing estate road on the line of an old route to Brighouse.

From the name, this road was intended to link the Sheepridge and Brackenhall housing estates with the one at Bradley, but this never happened. This is perhaps fortunate as it would have probably have become busy with through traffic.
