The A57 is a major road in England. It runs east from Liverpool to Lincoln, via Warrington and Manchester, then through the Pennines over the Snake Pass (between the high moor lands of Bleaklow and Kinder Scout), around the Ladybower Reservoir, through Sheffield and past Worksop.

Within Manchester a short stretch becomes the A57(M) motorway.

The three-mile £4m Aston Relief Road in Sheffield opened in mid-1985, with the old route now designated as the B6200. On December 31, 1984, drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car crash on the A57 in the hills outside Sheffield when his speeding Corvette swerved off the road on a sharp bend and went through a drystone wall. Despite the severity of the accident, Rick was committed to continuing his role as Def Leppard's drummer
