Hi, does anyone know why the leaves/stems of my early potato's would start to turn black & die off. The plot holder next to me has very healthy looking plants and the main crop in one bed down (about 10ft) are all looking healthy. Could it be lack of water?

If the blackened leaves have gone crispy and turn to dust if you crush them in your hand:frost damage.
Early varieties are more susceptible to it.
Check closely, if you've got some new green leaves growing you should be okay. I doubt the frost was harsh enough to get right down to the tubers, it will probably just set them back a little.
Here's the frost damage on mine:
