Welcome to Potternewton

Potternewton is a suburb of Leeds, located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately two miles north of the city centre and is bordered by Chapeltown to the east, Meanwood to the west, and Harehills to the south. The area is known for its diverse community, with a mix of different cultures and ethnicities living together.

One of the most notable landmarks in Potternewton is Potternewton Park, which covers an area of 33 acres. The park is home to a range of facilities, including a playground, tennis courts, and a bowling green. It is also the site of the annual Leeds West Indian Carnival, which takes place every August and is one of the largest Caribbean carnivals in Europe. The park is a popular destination for families and is a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Potternewton is also home to a number of historic buildings, including Potternewton Hall, which dates back to the 17th century. The hall was once the home of the Lupton family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Today, the building is used as a community centre and is a popular venue for events and functions. Other notable buildings in the area include St Martin's Church, which was built in the 19th century and is a Grade II listed building, and the former Potternewton Library, which is now used as a community centre.
