The New Pot Oil, Wrenthorpe
To most Yorkshire folk, a 'pot'oil' is a pothole in the road (or perhaps a cave). Locally here, it refers to the pot ovens that gave the village its former name. According to Whatpub.com, the pub was built as the Malt Shovel in the 1860s, rebuilt 1899, called the Pot 'Oil from the 1970s to 1988, then The Potovens until 1991. The outside, at least, has had a makeover since 2019 Image and other photos on this site show earlier decoration schemes.
