Lathams giant department and fishing store has become synonymous with Potter Heigham and the Broads.
Lathams bargain department store in Potter Heigham is the biggest discount superstore on the Broads and sells absolutely everything from camping equipment to clothing, toys and games to furniture and fitness. It is well known to all who visit the Broads and is an incredibly useful shop for holiday makers and locals alike.
Potter Heigham is set right in the heart of the Broads and people have been visiting for holidays since the 1900s. Boat building has been established for many decades at Potter Heigham and includes the famous Applegate Boatyard and Herbert Woods Boatyard, still present in Potter Heigham today. Herbert Woods was the first boatyard to operate Broads Cruisers at the start of the 1900s.
Lathams opened in 1963 as an ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ primarily stocking everything for the holiday maker and fishermen. It is still one of the most popular places to visit on the Broads today.
