The Steam Clock changed hands from Thomas Davies to Herbert Hill Henderson in January 1930 but was one of 10 pubs put on the "compensation list" in May 1930, for removal of their licences.  The Steam Clock was granted a reprieve as the owners, Tennant Brothers, had spent a considerable sum on improvements six years previously.  However it was put back on the list, closing on 31st December 1931, and its fixtures and fittings were up for sale a week later. Mr Henderson moved to the Cherrytree Inn on Gibraltar street.

Further to the Flood Claim of the properties including naming The Steam Clock and the post for Brightside Lane Houses. 

The Steam Clock:

Searched the Flood Archive with "Brightside Lane" 

Publicans:

James Ellis, publican and farmer, Brightside Lane. 

https://sheffieldfloodclaimsarchive.shu.ac.uk/claimSummary.cfm?claim=3-2659

Thought James Ellis was a possibility until:

James Ellis, Farmer & Publican, Midland Hotel, Brightside Lane, Sheffield

Injured person: Mrs James Ellis, Landlady, Midland Hotel. 

https://sheffieldfloodclaimsarchive.shu.ac.uk/claimSummary.cfm?claim=9b-52

 

If the Building Society didn't own The Steam Clock then this could be The Steam Clock. 

Robert Laing, publican

Record states he is the absolute owner.

https://sheffieldfloodclaimsarchive.shu.ac.uk/claimSummary.cfm?claim=5-4517

There are however 14 properties whose address is "Lowe's Buildings" Brightside Lane. 

The claim on behalf of the Trustees of the Building Society care of Alfred Allott, Prior Court. lists 10 Houses plus 2 houses and shops adjoining a public house known as The Steam Clock. 

Possibility these are the ones but need to find who was "Lowe".

Question still remains: Which one was The Steam Clock? 

Robert Bailey, Hay and Straw Dealer, of Lowe's Buildings, Brightside Lane. Absolute owner.

Putting forward a suggestion:

If these properties circled green were built before the 1864 Flood, possibility they are:

 "Lowe's Buildings" 

10 in the row and then to the right of them 2 further houses + 3 other buildings....shops adjoining The Steam Clock.
