Exploring the Production of Urban Space: Differential Space in Three Post-industrial Cities. Archived from the original on 21 July 2011. In December 2011, the City Council agreed to find a new site for the clock.
The clock was dismantled in December 2010 due to vandalism.
Designed and built by Peter Weare at his own expense, it is a half scale prototype for a larger clock proposed for Melbourne Australia. It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the World's largest steam clock. The clock is sited on the North Quay of the harbour at St Helier, Jersey, and also incorporates a fountain. Although once powered by steam, according to a Jersey government document "the steam workings have been replaced with electrical fittings designed to provide the same functionality including the blowing of 'steam' at the appropriate times of the day." The clock was commissioned by the Jersey Waterfront Board in 1996, and built by Smith of Derby Group. The Jersey steam clock is a full-scale replica of the centre section of a paddle steamboat named the Ariadne. The steam also powers the clock's sound production, with whistles being used instead of bells to produce the Westminster "chime" and to signal the time. The weight of the balls on the descending chain drives a conventional pendulum clock escapement, geared to the hands on the four faces. The chain lift moves steel balls upward, where they are unloaded and roll to a descending chain. The steam used is low pressure downtown-wide steam heating network (from a plant adjacent to the Georgia Viaduct) that powers a miniature steam engine in its base, in turn driving a chain lift. The clock produces a puff of steam from its top on the hour. Incorporating a steam engine and electric motors, the clock displays the time on four faces and announces the quarter hours with a whistle chime that plays the Westminster Quarters. 49☁7′04″N 123☀6′32″W / 49.28444°N 123.10889°W / 49.28444 -123.10889, It was built to cover a steam grate, part of Vancouver's distributed steam heating system, as a way to harness the steam and a means of masking Central Heat's sidewalk steam vent at the corner of Water Street and Cambie Street." Although the clock is now owned by the City of Vancouver, funding for the project, estimated to be about $58,000 CAD, was provided by contributions from local merchants, property owners, and private donors. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 at the corner of Cambie and Water streets in Vancouver's Gastown neighbourhood.

The clock was installed above the door, and the pub became known as the Steam Clock Tavern.
A small boiler made steam the steam condensed into droplets of water that fell on a plate at regular intervals, and the plate then drove the mechanism. In a bid to make the establishment a talking point in the area, as well as furnishing it with various working models, Inshaw applied his interest in steam power to construct a steam-powered clock as a feature. In 1859, the engineer and businessman John Inshaw took over the public house on the corner of Morville Street and Sherborne Street in Ladywood, Birmingham, UK. 3.2 Chelsea Farmers' Market steam clock.
