View from the west side of the village looking east. Coniston is situated on the west side of the A165 by-pass, built in 1970 running south to Hull. Within this grid square is Lane End Farm on the west edge. Seen here on the right is the now derelict Primitive Methodist Church. Coniston was known as Coningesbi in 1086, probably an Anglican, Scandinavian mixed name, possibly meaning 'Kings Farm'.
