Riverside Records

Riverside Records trades from a single unit inside Rotherham's Imperial Buildings, close to the river in the town centre. The shop stocks several thousand new and second-hand vinyl records and CDs across most genres, alongside band merchandise, record-cleaning supplies and tickets for gigs at local venues. A window display dedicated to women, non-binary and trans musicians runs alongside the regular stock, changed periodically rather than left as a fixture. Customers are encouraged to take their time; the shop describes itself as somewhere for a hot drink and a browse rather than a quick transaction. It sits within the wider Imperial Buildings complex, a listed building in Rotherham town centre. There is no online-only side to the operation; everything is sold from the shop floor.
