- Potter’s Barn is a replica of La Haye Sainte, the farmhouse on the battlefield at Waterloo, where some of the heaviest fighting occurred.
The building was the brainchild of William Potter, a china merchant from Liverpool. Unfortunately, William Potter’s firm went bankrupt in 1841 and the building was never completed.

Ive traced my Liverpool Hayes/Heyes from Orkney to La Haye du Puit. Then from Normandy with William to England to Mayor of London then Ship Captains in Liverpool down to 19th century poor Court House dwellers. Thanks
What on earth happened? That park used to be beautifully kept. Where are the bowling greens? Why have we regressed so much as a nation?
I used to go and watch people playing bowls during lunchtime when I attended Waterloo Grammar in the early sixties. I left Crosby in1973 and it saddens me to see this park so neglected.
