The "Dance Bar" on the corner was originally a pub called the Cross Keys whose licence dated back to 1830. The original pub was situated about 50 yards further up Jersey Street and was briefly known as The Amalgamation. It was demolished in the late 19th century to make way for a brass foundry and so the Cross Keys set up on the corner of German Street, which was renamed to Radium Street in 1914. Tetley bought it from Taylors Eagle Brewery in 1922. It closed in 2010 and was earmarked for demolition. However it has survived and is used as offices.
