Potters Bar,
in the far south of the
county, near the junction of the A1(M) and M25 at South Mimms.
With its excellent road links and good rail routes to London,
Potters Bar is a popular location for commuters.
The settlement dates back to
Roman times and exhibits at the Potters Bar Museum include
artifacts from a Roman tile kiln. It was this association
with pottery industry that gave the town its name.
The rapid growth of the Potters
Bar into an attractive commuter town dates from the arrival
of the railway in 1850. The town has a good selection
of restaurants and pubs and the Wyllyott Theatre provides
entertainment throughout the year.
Just north of the town, near
Brookmans Park, stands the famous Royal Verterinary College.
