Where is Potters Bar?

Potters Bar used to be a part of Middlesex and formed the Potters Bar Urban District of that county from 1934. From 1894 to 1934 its area had formed the South Mimms Rural District.

In 1939 Potters Bar had a population of over 13,000, this increased to over 24,000 in 1971. In 1974 the urban district was abolished and the Potters Bar became part of the borough of Hertsmere. Having been part of Middlesex, the area continued to form part of the Metropolitan Police District; with the creation of the Greater London Authority it was transferred to Hertfordshire Constabulary in 2000.

Potters Bar police station was awarded the best kept garden in the Metropolitan Police area year after year, an accolade that it continued to enjoy long after its transfer to the Hertfordshire Constabulary.

Some information on Potters Bar

Potters Bar is located on the Great North Road, one of two road routes from the City of London to the north of England. The road was originally numbered as the A1 and later the A1000.

Potters Bar was historically part of the county of Middlesex and formed the Potters Bar Urban District of that county from 1934. From 1894 to 1934 its area had formed the South Mimms Rural District. In 1965, the district was transferred to Hertfordshire County Council, while most of the rest of Middlesex County Council became part of Greater London.

The Byng family of Potters Bar

Wrotham Park estate, home of the Byng family, sits within Potters Bar and Barnet on 2,500 acres of land. The Byng family still own a lot of land in the Potters Bar area; The Admiral Byng pub in Darkes Lane is named after Admiral John Byng, who was executed for failing to obey orders in the Minorca campaign.

Zeppelin L31 shot down over Potters Bar

In the early hours of 1 October 1916, Lieutenant Wulstan Tempest shot down Germany's most famous zeppelin, the L31. It was captained by Heinrich Mathy with his crew of eighteen. All were killed when the flaming zeppelin fell into an ancient oak tree on the Oakmere Estate, Oakmere House at the time being rented by Mrs Forbes. The deadly raids over England declined after this. The crew of German sailors on board the zeppelin were buried in the local cemetery and, decades later, reinterred at Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery. They were sailors as the Zeppelins fell under naval command in Germany. The Potters Bar Museum has a Zeppelin display, with relics of the L31.

What's in a name? Potters Bar!

The origin of the Potters part of the town's name is uncertain; it is generally thought to be either a reference to a Roman pottery, believed to have been sited locally, or alternatively to the Pottere family who lived in neighbouring South Mimms parish.

The Bar is thought to refer to the gates leading from the South Mimms parish and into the Enfield Chase parish; it could possibly hail from a toll on the Great North Road, said to have been by what is now the disused Green Man pub or at the current entrance to Morven House.
