Potterton: what to know before moving day
Potterton is in the Domesday Book, and its name comes from Pottere Tun, the potter's farmstead. The largest house in the parish is Potterton Hall, whose west wing was listed Grade II* in 1982. OpenStreetMap also names Potterton Grange, Manor Garth Farm, Syke House Farm and Brickpond Farm, with the Potterton Beck running through.
South of the hamlet lie the earthworks of the deserted medieval village of Potterton, with a holloway, protected as a scheduled monument. Homes here are spread along the lanes rather than set out in streets, so give the house name as well as the postcode, and say whether the van will be on a drive or at the lane side.
How the van gets to Potterton
Potterton Lane runs north from Barwick-in-Elmet through the hamlet, and Kiddal Lane also passes through. The A64 is just to the north, and junction 44 of the A1(M) is about 2.5 miles away along it. From Bradford the van comes round the Leeds ring road, out through Scholes and Barwick, then up Potterton Lane.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
