When Conisbrough was created an urban district in 1921, its boundaries only included the most urban parts of Conisbrough Civil Parish. Conisbrough Parks was formed out of the remaining parts of the parish. Since 1974 both Conisbrough and Conisbrough Parks have been located in Doncaster Metropolitan Borough.
For more information, see Conisbrough.
