You may remember Rockerfella from back in the day when God was a lad, well, maybe not 
quite that far back but you see where I’m coming from. The shop used to be placed in Hepworths Arcade in the City Centre, a snazzy little store filled with a load of vintage wear back in the days before it was ‘cool’ and most people saw it as poggy second hand tripe. Little did they to know that just 2 years into the future the city would be overrun by mini boutiques full of the stuff and indie kids everwhere would be coughing up notes to get their hands on the stuff. The Vintage trend was just starting to kick off in Hull and Rockerfella was one of the first to aid it. Back then there weren’t many shops like it so it’s no wonder that the shop outgrew its boots in just over a year and half.

Rockerfella then got a new home in Waltham Street (opposite Bhs) a much bigger building to cater for Rockerfellas needs. The building itself was leased by Burger King and although the fast food joint did well in producing mass nutritious delights to the people of Hull it just wasn’t enough and before long it went bankrupt and no matter how well Rockerfella was doing, the big whopper took the shop down with it.
