Potternewton is a suburb and parish of north-east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, situated between Chapeltown and Chapel Allerton, mainly in the LS7 postcode. It is between Scott Hall Road on the West and Roundhay Road on the East, with Harehills Lane on the North. The main thoroughfare is Chapeltown Road, and it is often taken to be part of a larger area referred to as Chapeltown. Although Potternewton is a historic village, local residents define it as Chapeltown. Most maps define it as Potternewton while others, such as Transport Direct define them as separate areas. Potternewton is often recognised as a small area between Scott Hall and Meanwood.
Potternewton Park is the location of the Leeds Carnival, and the start and finish of the carnival procession. As well as open areas, children's playground and sports facilities, it includes a skate park for skateboard and bmx activities.
St Martin's is the Church of England parish church just off Chapeltown Road, consecrated in 1881.[1]
